Monomer is the term used to describe the individual molecule that links together to form a polymer chain.
One example of a neat polymer is polyethylene. Neat polymers are pure forms of a polymer without any additives or fillers. This allows for studying the intrinsic properties and behavior of the polymer.
A chitin that makes up the exoskeleton of insects is not made out of a polymer of amino acids. Chitin is a nitrogen that contains polysaccharide.
Polyethylene terephthalate (PET) is a synthetic polymer that becomes harder as the number of carbon atoms in the polymer chain increases, due to enhanced molecular packing and increased intermolecular forces. This property makes PET a suitable material for applications requiring stiff and rigid structures, such as in the production of plastic bottles and fibers.
The characteristic polymer that makes up our skin is primarily collagen, a structural protein that provides strength and elasticity. Additionally, elastin is another important protein that contributes to the skin's ability to stretch and return to its original shape. Together, these proteins form a network that supports the skin's structure and function.
Melanin is the polymer that makes up our hair color. It is produced by melanocytes in the hair follicles and determines the color of hair based on the type and amount of melanin present.
it is one of the polymer family which makes it a polymer
That makes no sense.
No. Waste isn't a chemical compound, so it makes no sense to talk about it being either a monomer or polymer.
The polymer that makes up Teflon is: Polytetrafluoroethylene
Lithium polymer batteries are preferred to other batteries because these are usually the rechargeable ones. That makes them better for the environment.
dehydration synthesis (the process of making a polymer from monomer units , or making a greater polymer from smaller polymers)
DNA is a polymer because it is made of up of monomers of nucleotides that differ from each other by their bases. (Adenine, Guanine, Cytosine, and Thymine.)
The polymer must form bonds with the object if it is to stick to it. If the number of bonds between the polymer chains increases, the number of bonds they share with other objects will probably decrease, making it less sticky.
The blood makes the color of your nail.
It varies but is usually a modified cellulose polymer.
a fibrin polymer.
