UNIT 1 TOPIC 8 Flashcards
1
Q
What are polymer properties?
A
durable, low densities, non-conductive, low melting points
covalent bonds or crosslinks between polymer chains
2
Q
What are additional polymers?
A
polymers formed from reactions of monomer containing carbon-carbon double bonds
3
Q
What is a condensation polymer?
A
polymers formed when functional groups are one each end of a monomer
4
Q
What is a thermoplastic polymer?
A
polymer that softens when heated and can be reshaped
easily recyclable
5
Q
What is a thermosetting material?
A
cannot be reshaped
burns if melt
hard to recycle
6
Q
What is a polymer?
A
molecule that produces natural or synthetically from bonded monomers
brackets and dash indicate repeating
7
Q
What is a monomer?
A
molecule that can react with others to from polymers
