Why do natural polymers not pose as much of an issue in landfills as synthetic polymers Natural polymers are cheap to recycle and synthetic polymers are expensive to recycle. Natural polymers are expe?
Natural polymers are biodegradable, meaning they can be broken down by bacteria and other organisms in the environment. This process helps to reduce the amount of natural polymers going to landfills. Synthetic polymers, on the other hand, are not easily biodegradable and can persist in the environment for a long time, contributing to landfill waste issues.
What are the five main groups of materials?
The five main groups of materials are metals, polymers, ceramics, composites, and semiconductors. Each group has unique properties and characteristics that make them suitable for different applications in various industries.
When monomers combine they form what?
Monomers hook up to form polymers. There is a link below that will lead you to the Wikipedia post on polymers.Water is also produced, this is a condensation reaction.
Are all polymers man made?
No, not all polymers are man-made. Some polymers can be found in nature, such as proteins, cellulose, and DNA. These natural polymers have unique properties and functions in living organisms.
What are the differences between polymers and plastics?
Polymers are large molecules made up of repeating units, while plastics are a type of polymer that can be molded into various shapes. Not all polymers are plastics, but all plastics are polymers. Plastics are a subset of polymers that have additional properties, such as being lightweight, durable, and easily molded.
What are five board categories of materials studied by scientists?
Scientists study metal, rubber, ceramics, alloys, semiconductors, polymers, and glass.
What is meant by water soluble polymers?
Water soluble polymers are polymers that will dissolve in water.
A large molecule synthesized from many monomers is called a what?
they are called polymers
When was Horror House on Highway Five created?
Horror House on Highway Five was created in 1985.
What are the polymers that are produced in factories called?
Polymers.
What are the polymers of carbohydrate's?
The polymers of carbohydrates are polysaccharide.
What are large molecules made up of smaller molecules?
The answer is polymer. Could also be referring to Macromolecule
Why are synthetic polymers often used in place of natural material?
Synthetic polymers are cheaper than natural polymers. Natural polymers are also less plentiful.
What is the duration of Horror House on Highway Five?
The duration of Horror House on Highway Five is 1.52 hours.
Does protein has polymers with many subunits?
Proteins are not polymers.
Are compounds that have repeating subunits?
Yes, these are the polymers.
Are polyols the same as vinyl polymers?
No they are not. Polyols are polyalcohols. Vinyl polymers are polymers of monomers of the type CH2=CHX .
