What is polypropylene foam?

Polypropene is a thermoplastic polymer made by the chemical industry packaging, textiles (e.g. ropes, thermal underwear and carpets), stationery, plastic parts and reusable containers of various types, laboratory equipment, loudspeakers, automotive components, and polymer banknotes.


What is is the monomer for cellulose?

cellulose is a linear polymer of glucose.


What is Semitelechelic polymer?

The term "semitelechelic" in reference to polymers may be a bit misleading. A telechelic polymer is one that has a reactive functional group. Most polymers have reactive groups on a least one end. These are monotelechelic. Linear polymers with reactive groups on both ends are ditelechelic. Branched or star-shaped polymers may be tri-, tetra-, penta-, et cetera telechelic. As I understand the nomenclature (professionally, I am a scientist working with polyethylene glycol), "semitelechelic polymer" is usually used to refer to a monotelechelic polymer.


What type of polymer can be described as having only one starting point and one ending point?

linear


How does the structure of a thermoplastic differ from a thermosetting plastic?

Once 'set' these plastics cannot be reheated to soften, shape and mould.Thermosetting Plastics are made up of lines of molecules which are heavily cross linked. It creates a rigid molecular structure.They may be heated the first time and shaped but they become permanently stiff and solid.Unlike thermoplastics, they retain their strength and shape even when heated.
