at low molecular wight ~6000mol/g it is used as dispersant

may be at higher molecular weight it forms a water soluble polymer, but i dont know if there are any useful application for that

Is there latex in Teflon?

No, Teflon does not contain latex. Teflon is a brand name for a synthetic polymer called polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), which is not derived from latex.


Does dry natural rubber contain latex?

Natural rubber is a polymer built up of isoprene units. Latex is found in nature. It comes from rubber tree (Hevea Brasiliensis). Latex coagulates naturally and turn into dry natural rubber. Normally, latex containing 25 to 40% of dry rubber.


Which pair of functional groups can be part of a condensation reaction form a polymer chain?

The pair of functional groups that can be part of a condensation reaction to form a polymer chain is hydroxyl (-OH) and carboxyl (-COOH) groups. The hydroxyl group provides the -OH to form water during the condensation reaction, linking monomers together to form the polymer chain.


When two monomers become bonded together to form a polymer What is the process called?

The process is called polymerization. It involves the chemical reaction where monomers are combined to form a polymer through the formation of covalent bonds.


What is the Process of linking monomers to form a polymer?

In a polymerization process, monomers are linked together by chemical bonds to form a polymer chain. This typically involves a reaction where the monomers undergo a series of steps to form polymer chains of various lengths. The process can be initiated by heat, light, or a catalyst, and the resulting polymer can have different properties depending on the monomers used and the polymerization conditions.

Is there any latex in polyethylene?

Polyethylene is a synthetic polymer made from hydrocarbons got fro oil. Latex is a natural coagulated tree sap made from the Rubber tree Latex is much more elastic than polyethylene and both degrade in sunlight UV


Is there latex in polypropylene?

No, polypropylene does not contain latex. Polypropylene is a synthetic polymer made from the polymerization of propylene monomers, while latex typically refers to a natural rubber or synthetic rubber dispersion in water. However, some products may combine polypropylene with latex in their manufacturing process, but they remain distinct materials.

Is the sap from the rubber tree rhe rubber?

The sap from the rubber tree is commonly referred to as "latex". Technically a latex is any polymer dissolved in water. The rubber tree sap happens to contain the polymer isoprene, which has a wide variety of applications. When the isoprene is extracted from the latex it has a remarkable number of useful applications, depending on how it is processed. The most famous way to process isoprene is to "cross-link" or "vulcanize" it, which then makes a material strong enough to make tires.
