Best Answer

The bond between the polymer chains can be stretched without breaking, thus the polymer can regain shape after distortion from an outside force: it is elastic.

A polymer can be modified at the synthesis stage by adjusting the monomer types and ratios. When the polymer is finished it can be surface treated to improve adhesion. As an example, polypropylene can be corona discharge treated, to improve adhesion of printing ink. Another technique is to flame treat.

Is glass a polymer material?

In polymer science, the word glass is a term for a particular state of matter having certain characteristic properties. To avoid confusion, we'll ignore that and assume you're asking about ordinary window glass. Technically, it could be considered an extremely highly crosslinked polymer, and it does share some properties with polymers, but it's not normally thought of as a polymer.

What are the properties of polytetrafluroethene?

Poly(tetraflurothene) has properties of chemical interness, heat resistance and non-stick qualities. All these properties are due to the strong carbon-flourine bonds in the polymer structure.


Does a monomer still have the same chemical properties as a polymer?

Naturally not. When you link a huge number of monomers in a polymeric chain the material properties completely changes.
