    Exercise 1 Polymers – An introduction to Organic Chemistry Group 3 Jude Marchoni C. Tampus Meryl Marie Susan Chua Pearl Pontillas Paolo Pepito Gaia Casas I. Abstract: (Paolo) In this experiment we will be testing what would happen to the polymer when we add borax to it. A polymer is a compound made up of large molecules often in a solid state. Polymers are chemically formed by 100 to 10‚000 small molecules called "monomers". Monomers occur in molecular units or patterns

    Polymer Essay: Plexiglass Many of the glass screens and windows we see today are not really made of glass. They are made of plexiglass. Plexiglass is not related to the chemical structure of glass at all. It is an organic polymer. Today this polymer is used in all sorts of applications. The formation of plexiglass was begun in 1930‚ at McGi11 University by William Chalmers‚ a research student. He polymerized methacrylic ethyl ester and methacrylic nitirile‚ creating a clear plastic paste

    ges%3Fq%3Dhairspray%2Bhair%26start%3D60%26hl%3Den%26lr%3D%26ie%3DUTF-8%26sa%3DN Overall‚ I have learned a lot about hairspray. I now understand that it is the polymers that attach to the hair follicle. The compounds which cause "sticky" feeling which the actual spray have‚ mostly the alcohols‚ end up evaporating. This leaves the polymers to coat the hair‚ and provide the "hold". The chemistry of hairspray deals quite a bit with soluble and insoluble solutions. Based on what we have learned in chemistry

    Introduction Perspex is a type of amorphous polymer and has the following repeat unit : If the PMMA is heated ‚ the side group of the polymer will start to rotate. As the temperature gradually increase and reach a certain temperature ‚ the polymer would lose its stiffness and becomes elastic like a rubber. This temperature is also known as glass transition temperature ‚Tg. The Tg is always lower than melting point of the polymer. By heating and cooling the polymer‚ and observing the changes in their physical

    Page 88-90 stated that plastics are polymers and are chemically unreactive because they are held together by stable single bonds‚ which also results in their chemical stability. The stability of plastics makes them resilient to breakage making them good replacements for fragile items such as glass. Some plastics are weakened and dissolved by organic non-solvents so not all plastics can be used for the same purposes. Plastics are moulded to different shapes with some being flexible like plastic bags
