What is the importance of crosslinking and chains in polymers?
Babigalgrace
It affects the properties of a polymer by it being "combine" with sodium borate.

∙ 16y agoas far as i know cross-linking helps in improving the strength and chemical properties of the polymer......like sulphur cross-linking in rubber for tyres.

What group of polymers are contained by all living organisms?
Amino-acid based polymers such as proteins.
Are all polymers made of chains smaller molecules?
Yes. That is why they are called polymers. The prefix "poly-" means many. A polymer is made from many monomers.
True or false Carbon atoms can bond together in straight chains?
Yes. Carbon atoms form to create certain types of chains. Straight Carbon Chains, Branched Carbon Chains, and Carbon Rings. Carbon can form single, double or triple bonds. You're welcome
What are protein polymers constructed from?
Amino Acid
What smaller organic molecule are proteins are chains of?
Proteins are polymers made naturally. The monomers of protein are amino acids. Large number of amino acids are bond to form proteins.
What is protein crosslinking?
This protein crosslinking consists of between primary amine (lysine) and sulfhydryl (cysteine) groups of proteinsand other molecules; which are available with different lengths and types of spacer arms.
Long chains of organic compounds are known as?
Polymers.
What are molecules that are long chains of repeating molecules?
polymers
What proteins are polymers formed from?
Proteins are polymers formed from amino acids. This term generally refers to chains longer than 50 amino acids, shorter chains are usually called polypeptides (or polypeptide chains).
Are fats polymers or monomers?
Polymers, they are lipids which are long carbon chains
Are polymers with long chains stronger and more fibrous than ones with short chains?
e
How Monomer And Polymer related?
Polymers are long chains of monomers.
What type of bonding exists in the CH chains in polymers?
in polymers you have covalent bonding between the atoms of C & H as both are not metals.
What group of polymers are contained by all living organisms?
Amino-acid based polymers such as proteins.
Do nucleotides form polymers?
Individual nucleotide monomers (single units) are linked together to form polymers, or long chains. so yes nucleotides do form polymers
Are all polymers made of chains smaller molecules?
Yes. That is why they are called polymers. The prefix "poly-" means many. A polymer is made from many monomers.
What organic molecule made up of a long chain of repeating units?
Many organic polymers are chains of repeating elements. These include biopolymers such as starches, glycogen, cellulose (polysaccharide chains), DNA, RNA (nucleotide chains with constant backbone but different nitrogenous bases at each position) and protein, (polypeptide chains with constant backbone but different substituent groups at each position), and other technically organic polymers such as PVC, Teflon, and Kevlar.
