What is the function of hydrolysis in metabolizing polymers?
A water molecule being added to break a bond between polymers reducing them to sections, or monomers.
When water is added to a reaction causing large polymers to split into monomers that is called?
hydrolysis
Why does PS burn with black fume?
The cause is a flame retardant added in the composition.Flame retardant are obligatory for polymers.
What is the basic process of digestion during which water molecules are added back into polymers to separate them into their smaller monomers so they can be absorbed?
Hydrolysis
What is the purpose of polymers?
Polymers are used all around, plastics and rubber are polymers.
What effect do plasticisers have on polymers?
The effect it has on polymers is that it makes them condensate.
Why are plasticisers added to PVC?
So it will bend instead of breaking.
What is Plasticisers used for?
They're used to increase the flexibility of substances. For example - they're added to things like PVC (which is a hard plastic) to make it more pliable.
How are plasticisers made?
Plasticisers are products of the chemical industry; each plasticiser has a specific receipt and a specific technology of preparation. See also the link below.

What is the term for where water is added to break the bonds found in polymers?
Hydrolysis
When water is added to a reaction causing large polymers to split into monomers that is called?
hydrolysis
What are plasticisers?
They're chemicals that makes plastic and rubbery stuff soft and flexible.
Why are polymers added to drilling fluid?
polymers add consistency or thickness to fluids. Because a number of additives can improve the filter cake such as bentonite, natural & synthetic polymer, asphalt and gilsonite.
Why does PS burn with black fume?
The cause is a flame retardant added in the composition.Flame retardant are obligatory for polymers.
Which elements are in plastic?
The main polymers consist of Carbon, Hydrogen and Oxygen, but added chemicals may have other elements in them.
