What are the two types of bonds seen in polymers?
The two types of bonds seen in polymers are covalent bonds, which are strong chemical bonds formed between atoms within the polymer chain, and non-covalent bonds, which are weaker interactions like hydrogen bonds or van der Waals forces between polymer chains.
What are examples of covalent bonds besides water?
Single, double, and triple carbon-carbon bonds; carbon-hydrogen bonds; carbon-halogen bonds; hydrogen-hydrogen bonds; nitrogen-nitrogen bonds; single and double carbon-oxygen bonds; silicon-oxygen bonds in silicone polymers.
How are polymers broken-down to monomers?
It certainly depends on what type of polymer you are speaking. For peptide polymers the reaction for monomerization is hydrolysis. This is the addition of water in combination with the cleavage of the peptide bond.
What kind of chemical bond hold polymers together?
Covalent. [Although intermolecular bonding (hydrogen bonding and Van Der Waals) can occur between chains.]
What is saturated polymer?
A saturated polymer is a polymer in which all carbon atoms are saturated with hydrogen atoms, meaning they are linked by single bonds. This results in a straight or branched chain structure without any double or triple bonds between carbon atoms. Saturated polymers typically have higher chemical and thermal stability compared to unsaturated polymers.
When polymers chemically bond with other polymers this is called?
When covalent bonds are formed between polymers, this is called cross-linking
What makes polymers stronger?
bonds i think
What kind of carbon-carbon bonds are involved in the formation of addition polymers?
Addition polymers are formed through the polymerization of monomers containing carbon-carbon double bonds (C=C), known as alkenes. During the polymerization process, these double bonds open up, allowing the monomers to link together and form long chains of repeating units. The resulting polymer consists of carbon-carbon single bonds (C-C) in its backbone, created from the original double bonds of the monomers. This process typically occurs via mechanisms such as free radical, ionic, or coordination polymerization.
What type of bond is needed to hold polymers together?
Covalent bonds generally hold polymers together.

Complex carbohydrates are to monosaccharides as polymers are to?
ionic bonds :)
What is the term for where water is added to break the bonds found in polymers?
Hydrolysis

Why proteins are called as polymers?
Proteins aren't called polymers, the polymers OF proteins are amino acids. Basically, amino acids coming together (creating polymers with the help of polypeptide bonds which forms them together) creates the polymers, which set up to create proteins.

Are polymers liked together by hydrogen bonds?
Sometimes yes - more often no
