3.
Based on you learning so far and
further reading, identify 3-4 polymers/copolymers/polymer blends/polymer
composites which might be suitable to make this product, along with justifying
your choice.
There are the various examples;
Polymers
From propane and ethane and polypropane the formation of polythene is;
Polyethene is the polymer category.
Co-polymer:
There are creating through the addition of polymerization from the differed
monomers;
Example: Buna-S; Buna-N
Polymer Composites
The polymerization of ethane is the suitable which are also create the polythene.
For examples: Carbon, glass, thermoplastic
4. Further elaborate the top 2 polymers on your
list in terms of their structure, properties and other applications. You can
also make a comparison table for this purpose.
The selected two polymers is Nylon and Teflon
Nylon
It is created through the condensation of polymerization of diamines by the
carboxylic acid as well as amino acid;
Example: Nylon 6, 6
Structure: Nylon 6, 6
Application:
Nylon is used in making bristles for brushes, sheet and used
in textile industry, tyre cord fabric
