What is the importance of crosslinking and chains in polymers?
It affects the properties of a polymer by it being "combine" with sodium borate.
How does crystalinity affect different polymer properties?
Mechanical properties are affected significantly.
What is changed when making up a complex polymer that would result in a compound with different chemical properties?
The number of monomers in the polymer is variable.
What is a special polymer?
It is a polymer which has special properties such as a memory shape polymer.
Is salt a polymer?
For the table salt (NaCl, sodium chloride) the terms monomer or polymer are inadequate. It is an ionic lattice (neither a monomer or a polymer)
Why do polymers such as polystyrene and polyethylene have different properties?
The structure of a molecule affects its properties in a number of ways. The structure says what can bond with it.
Are covalent compounds crystalline solids?
Not usually no. However, covalently bonded polymers will often have crystalline domains - these are called spherulites. So the polymer is rarely perfectly amorphous. PET is one such polymer. see related link for more information.

Why some polymer are highly crystalline and some are highly amorphous?
This depends on: - intermoleclar forces - structure - technology of preparation
What is polymer blending?
Jump to: navigation, searchA polymer blend or polymer mixture is in which at least two polymers are blended together to create a new material with different physical properties.
What are the factors that influence crystallinity?
In general it can be said that the most important factor affecting the crystallinity is the structure of the components used in polymer synthesis. If the polymer synthesized has a very symmetrical structure, then we can say that a highly crystalline material will form. The tacticity of the polymer is also important factor affecting the crystallinity. If the components are reacting in an ordered way, like syndiotactic PET, the material will be highly crystalline. But if the PET is atactic then it will be highly amorphous,even if the components of the polymer are the same.
