3.3 Polymers
Karten in diesem Stapel (10)
- 1polymers common nameplastic
- 2Polymer defcompounds made up of serveral elements that are chemically bound.
The molecules of polymers contain huge numbers of atoms, joined togehter in long chains - 3Rone of the best known polmers
-comes from latex (natural liquid from rubber tree)
-natural polymer - 4synthetic Polymers-manmade
-term plastic is generally used for s.p.
-most of the polymers used in industry
-can be divided in:
-thermoplastics
-thermosetting plastics - 5Thermoplastics-can be meltdet by heat+formed in MOULDS
-after the liquid plastic has cooled it SETS to form a solid material
-cn be heated and moulded numerous times
-(ABS; polycarbonate; PVC) - 6Polymers categories-synthetic polymers:
-thermoplastics
- thermosetting plastics
-natural polymers
-engeneering plastic
-elastomers - 7Thermosetting plastics-thermosets
-can be heated and moulded
-may also be mixed with from cold ingrediens
-during cooling/mixing a chemical reaction occurs-> causing thermosets to cure
(epoxy resins; polyimides) - 8thermosets cure (meaning)they set permanently, and cannot be moulded again
- 9engeneering plasticsmostly thermoplastics
-especially strong
(ABS; polycarbonate) - 10elastomers-very elastic polymers
-can be streched by force to at least twice their original length+can then return to their original length when the force is removed
