Thermoplastic and Thermosetting Plastic

Thermoplastics and thermosettings are two types of thermoplastics. Polymers are plastics that go through various manufacturing processes and have a wide range of qualities depending on the constituent materials and manufacturing method. The phrases thermoplastic and thermoset refer to how a material is or can be processed when the temperature is changed.  Thermoplastics: Amorphous and […]

Polymerization

Monomers are small, individual units of a larger molecule that can chemically link together to form polymers. For example, nucleotides are monomer units that comprise the building blocks of DNA and RNA, that are genetic macromolecules. Polymer [Greek, poly (many) + meros (parts)] is a large molecule whose structure repeats units of simpler chemical compounds.

Polymer Adsorption

Adsorption is the attachment of particles or atoms onto the outer layer of another stage. It happens using physisorption and chemisorption. Particles and atoms can adsorb to many kinds of surfaces, including polymer surfaces. A polymer is a massive particle made out of rehashing subunits bound by covalent bonds. The adsorption of particles and atoms

Molecular Geometry and Bond Angles of Graphite

Graphite is an allotrope of carbon. The molecular geometry of graphite is interesting to study as it attributes various unique properties to graphite. It is a crystalline form of carbon and its molecules are arranged in layers. These layers are made up of hexagonal rings of carbon atoms. Graphite is the most stable form of

Hydrogen Bonding in Polymers

In polymers, the atoms are joined by strong covalent bonds called primary forces. Long or short polymer chains are formed depending upon the extent of covalent linkage in the polymer. The primary forces may also join the polymer chains at different points; such linkages are called cross-linking. As a result, polymer molecules cannot slide over

General Methods of Polymerization

Polymers are large molecules formed by repeating units of a single unit or a molecule in a chained structure. They are often mentioned as macromolecules. There is a possibility that some monomers lose their chemical groups during polymerization. The single units or molecules repeated in the polymer are known as monomers. The classification of polymers
