    Polymers a large molecules made up of a chain of smaller molecules, known as monomers. The monomers that a polymer is made up of decide its structure and therefore it's function. These monomers are linked and coiled in a very specific manor giving the polymer a specific tertiary structure (an extensively coiled and linked polymer chain caused as a result of the formation of more bonds forming). This tertiary structure is crucial to the function of a polymer as it denotes the necessary shape of the complementary molecule. This is easier explained through an example.…

    synthesis organic polymers

    Organic polymers are macromolecules that are composed of smaller molecules called monomers. There are two main groups of polymers: natural polymers and unnatural (synthetic) polymers. Natural polymers include proteins such as cellulose and starch and are a necessity for our existence. On the other hand, synthetic polymers such as the polycarbonate in our lab goggles are more committed to achieving comfort and pleasure in life. The best ways to classify synthetic polymers is by the chemical processes used to produce them; addition polymerization and condensation polymerization. Generally, three important reactions take place in addition polymerization: initiation (birth), propagation (growth), and termination (death). Addition polymers, commonly known as chain growth polymers, are made through a chain reaction in which an alkene monomer is incorporated into the growing chain by reacting with a reactive intermediate. This intermediate is produced by the initiator, which can be a radical (highly reactive atom with an unpaired electron) such as the Benzoyl peroxide that will be used in this experiment. The polymer chain growth takes place during the propagation stage and stops when the radicals are satiated, usually by the recombination of two growing chains. The three different types of polymers are homopolymers, alternating co-polymers and random co-polymers. Homopolymers are made up of the same monomers while alternating co-polymers are made up of two or more alternating monomers and random co-polymers are made up of two or more monomers that follow no particular order (i.e. random). Now condensation polymers, commonly known as step-growth polymers, are formed when two monomers combine to eliminate a small molecule side product, such as water. A unique property of linear polymers is that they cannot form…

    Geopolymers are new materials for fire- and heat-resistant coatings and adhesives, medicinal applications, high-temperature ceramics, new binders for fire-resistant fiber composites, toxic and radioactive waste encapsulation and new cements for concrete. The properties and uses of geopolymers are being explored in many scientific and industrial disciplines: modern inorganic chemistry, physical chemistry, colloid chemistry, mineralogy, geology, and in other types of engineering process technologies. Geopolymers are part of polymer science, chemistry and technology that forms one of the major areas of materials science. Polymers are either organic material, i.e. carbon-based, or inorganic polymer, for example silicon-based. The organic polymers comprise the classes of natural polymers (rubber, cellulose), synthetic organic polymers (textile fibers, plastics, films, elastomers, etc.) and natural biopolymers (biology, medicine, pharmacy). Raw materials used in the synthesis of silicon-based polymers are mainly rock-forming minerals of geological origin, hence the name: geopolymer. Joseph Davidovits coined the term in 1978[1] and created the non profit French scientific institution (Association Loi 1901) Institut Géopolymère (Geopolymer Institute).…

    The figure shows an increasing trend with the increment of filler loading. It can be seen that NRL with 10 phr filler loading has the highest crosslink density. When the modified fillers were incorporated, the latex-CPW interaction increase due to the contribution of alkanolamide that improved interfacial adhesion between rubber matrix and filler. The crosslink network will be strengthened due to this contribution. The additional filler loading over 10 phr might lead to the deterioration of crosslink network, thus the crosslink density value decreases.…
