X- Thermoplastic materials are made of long linear polymer chain that are weakly bonded. Y- Thermoplastic and thermosets are both recyclable. 2. X -A monomer is a small repeating units that makes up a polymer. Y- All polymers are considered as plastic. 3. X- All units in a polymer need to be from the same monomer. Y- Long chain polymers are flexible.

Modified TRUE or FALSE. If FALSE, change the capitalized word. Schottky defects induce TENSILE forces in neighboring atoms. Silicate glasses are considered A POLYCRYSTALLINE material. STRUCTURAL UNIT is defined as the small molecule from which a polymer is synthesized.
They tend to strengthen a material (such as a plastic) made from this polymer. They also make the polymer harder and more difficult to melt. a. crosslinks b. Thermoplastics c. pendant groups d. backbone
1. Answer the following questions: (a) Why is free radical polymerization more commonly used today than ionic polymerization? (b) Almost all substituted ethylene monomers of commercial importance have the structure of CH2 = CHR or CH2 = CRR’ (where R or R' represent identical or different substituent groups). Why? (c) What are some methods for the production of conductive polymers? Give a few examples.
Expalin that- A tri-bi functional monomer system gels at about 83% conversion during polymerization.
Why can’t chemical recycling–that is, the conversion of polymer to monomers and re-conversion of monomers to polymer–be done easily with HDPE and LDPE?
Can you explain condensation polymerization and give an example with structure of one with 2 carboxylic acid groups and 2 OH groups.
