What is the importance of polymerization in industry?
To make stuff. Nylon is a polymer. So is DNA. So is PVC. So is Styrofoam. These things are useful. They are polymers. Polymerization is how you make polymers. QED polymerization is useful.
What chemicals can be obtained from Dow Chemicals?
Dow Chemicals doesn't sell chemicals, they make products with chemicals in them for companies. They make plastic for Saran Wrap and Ziploc as well as making polystyrene cups for Styrofoam.
Is styrofoam polar or nonpolar?
Thermoplastic is a term that refers to a substance turning into plastic when exposed to extreme temperatures. This would make Styrofoam thermoplastic.
What is the use of polymer?
To make plastics
A polymer is used in packaging and for vending cups true or false?
Not excatly true or false but the family of polymer is used in the packaging of vending cups. PET stands for polyethylene terephthalate. Part of the polyester family, it is used to make synthetic fibres as well as food and beverage containers. PET products are lightweight and are specialised in blocking gases, solvents, and moisture. They are strong and impact-resistant as well. It is also possible to recycle items made from PET. Refer: Future Market Insights Market Research reports : Vending Cups Market
How do you make an insulator that doesn't change the temperature of a liquid?
I would say with house insulation, t-shirts, paper cups, styrofoam, or maybe even tape
What company makes styrofoam?
Dow Chemical company is the leading producer of Styrofoam. Styrofoam is used to make many things such as plates and cups.
What kind of cups would you use to make calorimeter?
Styrofoam Cup
What is stirofoam made of?
Styrofoam is poly(styrene). Its a fairly common commodity polymer. However poly(styrene) alone is a gloopy mess typically. To make it into the styrofoam known in household products (such as cups, packing material, etc) blowing agents and additives are added to aerate the structure and give various desirable material properties.
Does Styrofoam absorb sound?
Styrofoam does absorb sound but it reflects it also. It absorbs more than a brick wall but not as much as softer foams. It does make very good heat insulation.
What is the effect of ammonia on styrofoam?
Ammonia can dissolve styrofoam by breaking down the polymer chains that make up the material. This reaction releases gas bubbles and can result in the styrofoam appearing to "melt" or break apart. It is important to handle and dispose of ammonia and styrofoam separately to prevent any unwanted reactions.
What are some brands of spray insulation?
Many different companies make spray insulation. Dow Styrofoam, Demilec, Icynene, and Certainteed are three very reputable brands of spray foam insulations.
What is the importance of polymerization in industry?
To make stuff. Nylon is a polymer. So is DNA. So is PVC. So is Styrofoam. These things are useful. They are polymers. Polymerization is how you make polymers. QED polymerization is useful.
What type of heat transfer does adding insulation slow down?
Generally speaking, insulation slows the movement of thermal energy by convection. The dead air spaces in fiberglass insulation make it a good bet to put in walls and under roof spaces. Styrofoam coolers work because the many, many tiny air spaces in the styrofoam are places where air is trapped, and those are dead air spaces.
How do you make a styrofoam cup snowman to put on a door?
There are many snowmen that can be made from styrofoam cups, from a very simple one to a full-sized snowman that is perfect for hanging on your door at Christmas. For the instructions about how to make the full-sized door Santa, visit the Related Link.
How do you make a Styrofoam model of the Berlin wall?
you make the Styrofoam look like it
Why do styrofoam cups make good insulators?
stylofoam cups are poor conductors of heat, hence when a exothermic chemical reaction is carried out inside a stylofoam cup, the heat given out cannot be dissepated into the environment via the walls of the cup. Therefore the cup acts as an insulating material.
