Chapter 28 Flashcards
Apex
Also known as arch, the area of the nail that has all of the strength
Chain reaction
Also known as polymerization reaction, process that joins together monomers to create vary long polymer chains
Initiators
Substance that starts the chain reaction that leads to the creation of very long polymer chains
Monomer
One unit called a molecule
Monomer liquid
Chemical liquid mixed with polymer powder to form the sculptured nail enhancement
Monomer liquid and polymer powder nails enhancement
Enhancements created by combining monomer liquid and polymer powder
Nail extension underside
The actual underside of the nail extension
Odorless monomer liquid and polymer powder products
Nail enhancements products that have little odor
Polymer
Substance formed by combining many small molecules into very long chain like structures
Polymerization
Also known as curing or hardening, Chemical reaction that creates polymer
Polymer powder
Powder in white clear pink and many other colors that is combined with monomer liquid to form the nail enhancement
Stress area
Where the natural nail grows beyond the finger and becomes the free edge
