What are natural and synthetic polymers?
A natural polymer would be rubber which is obtained from nature. A synthetic polymer would be polybutadiene which behaves like rubber.
Are basketball biodegradable?
If the ball is made from a rubber based polymer, which I would assume it is due to elasticity, then it is NOT biodegradable.
What polymer are balloons made of?
Balloons are made up of a polymer, rubber. the reason for rubber being used in making of balloons is that rubber is an example of an elastomer type polymer, where the polymer has the ability to return to its original shape after being stretched or deformed. The rubber polymer is coiled when in the resting state. The elastic properties arise from the its ability to stretch the chains apart, but when the tension is released the chains snap back to the original position.
Why does cross-linking a polymer like polyvinyl alcohol or rubber change its properties How would you make a diagram showing the relationships between a monomer a polymer and cross-liked polymer?
Cross-linking a polymer like polyvinyl alcohol or rubber creates covalent bonds between individual polymer chains, which enhances the material's mechanical strength, elasticity, and thermal stability. This process restricts the movement of polymer chains, resulting in a more rigid and durable structure compared to the unlinked form. To illustrate these relationships in a diagram, you could depict a monomer as a single unit, show it joining to form a polymer (a long chain of repeating units), and then represent cross-linking by drawing connections between different polymer chains to highlight the network structure of the cross-linked polymer.
What is natural rubber commonly used for?
Natural rubber, or gum rubber, is made from latex. A LOT of rubber available today is synthetic, made from petroleum. And a large amount of the gum rubber contains a percentage of synthetic rubber.
Can you get rubber bands for braces at walmart?
i would think so
What type of compound is a polyamide?
A polyamide is the type of compound that would be classified as a polymer. Specifically, it is a polymer containing monomers of amides which are joined by peptide bonds. Natural examples are proteins and artificial examples are nylons.
What is the length of a rubber ball?
if you are talking about a small regular rubber ball, then i would say about 2 centimeters. (i think)
Why is rubber used to make squash balls?
Well, think of it. rubber would be better than most things you can think of, huh? And if it's just too hard for you, than rubber is for the difficulty level.
What is raw rubber called?
Rubber is made from extract of SAP tree Natural rubber, also called India rubber or caoutchouc, is an elastomer (an elastic hydrocarbon polymer) that was originally derived from latex, a milky colloid produced by some plants. The plants would be 'tapped', that is, an incision made into the bark of the tree and the latex sap collected and refined into a usable rubber. The purified form of natural rubber is the chemical polyisoprene, which can also be produced synthetically. Natural rubber is used extensively in many applications and products, as is synthetic rubber.
Does polymer powder smell bad?
not usually, but would depend on the polymer
Why is rubber important?
it's funny...people don't really think rubber as an important substance, but, without it you would be ...well...probably dead
