C4 Crude oil- Polymerisation
Cards in this deck (7)
- 1Polymers (plastic) - a large molecule made of lots of small molecules joined togetherMonomers - small molecules, usually ALKENES
- 2Polymerisation: A chemical process that combines several monomers to form a polymer or polymeric compoundPolymerisation...how?
Lots of MONOMERS join together to form a long chain molecule - 3Polymerisation equation: n = a large number ≥ 1500
- 4—Important to remember!
- 5SMART material- properties changes if the environment changes -shape, colour, size, temperatureSHAPE memory polymer
-a polymer that reverts back to its original shape when HEATED - 62 uses of SMART material......
- 7HYDROGELs: -used in nappies, absorbs-preventing nappy rashesPolymer filling over metal because it looks more appealing and is less noticable
