Chapter 9 The World of Plastics and Polymers Overview • Plastics are all around us – Polymers‚ materials whose molecules consist of long chain of atoms • Natural • Synthetic • Use of material and impact on economy‚ lifestyle‚ and leisure – Word plastic to some carry connotation “cheap” or “tacky” – Synthetic polymers revolutionised modern life • eg plastics become important in automobile industry‚ some new plastics stronger than steel and resist corrosion‚ less dense than structural

INTERCHAPTER S Synthetic Polymers The formation of nylon by a condensation polymerization reaction at the interface of water and hexane‚ two immiscible solvents. The lower water layer contains the compound hexanedioyl dichloride‚ Cl C(CH2)4C O O Cl hexanedioyl dichloride The reaction produces nylon and HCl(aq). The polymer forms at the interface between the two solutions and is drawn out as a continuous strand. University Science Books‚ ©2011. All rights reserved. www.uscibooks.com

Polymer Chemistry Classification of Polymers – Notes prepared by The most common way of classifying polymers is to separate them into three groups - thermoplastics‚ thermosets‚ and elastomers5. The thermoplastics can be divided into two types - those that are crystalline and those that are amorphous. You may click on the words in the diagram below to learn more about these classifications. Thermoplastics Molecules in a thermoplastic are held together by relatively weak intermolecular

1.1 DEFINING POLYMERS Polymers are materials of very high molecular weight that are found to have multifarious applications in our modern society. They usually consist of several structural units bound together by covalent bonds [1‚2]. For example‚ polyethylene is a long-chain polymer and is represented by ÀCH2 CH2 CH2 À or ½ÀCH2 CH2 Àn ð1:1:1Þ where the structural (or repeat) unit is ÀCH2ÀCH2À and n represents the chain length of the polymer. Polymers are obtained through

1. What does it mean when a polymer is crosslinked? Crosslinked is one manner in which monomers link together. In this method‚ separate polymer chains are connected via bonds between the individual polymer chains. 2. We discussed how polymer linking and structure contribute to its properties. How would you expect the density‚ elasticity‚ and rigidity of a polymer that is branched to compare to one that is linear? I would expect the density of the linear polymer to be much higher than the density

Polymers in Dentistry A polymer is a very long molecule that is made by linking together many smaller molecules called monomers. Some polymers contain only one type of monomer and others can be made from a combination of two or more different monomers. Polymers can be synthetic (produced by humans) or natural. Polymers that can be heated and molded into specific shapes and forms are commonly known as plastics. All plastics are synthetic polymers. Adhesives‚ chewing gum‚ and polystyrene are also

Synthesizing Polymers “Making Silly Putty” In college‚ there are many things students take for granted. One thing we all take for granted the most is keeping a fresh perspective on the curriculum we are taking. This is an especially hard task when it comes to the more challenging subjects like science and mathematics. Chemistry‚ in particular is one of the most challenging subjects for any student‚ and many factors contribute to the students’ understanding of the course. Things like the right professor

This paper will include what the insanity statutes are in Ohio‚ the state that I live in. I will also talk about how often the insanity defense is used in the United States. As well as how successful this defense is. I will also discuss if psychologists should give their ultimate opinion in regards to sanity cases as well as the ethical issues that may rise from their opinions. Lastly‚ I will discuss how difficult it is to provide adequate psychological care for mentally ill patients while they are
