Organic Materials
Polymers
Types of Polymer ( thermoplastic,
thermosetting, elastomers),
Comparison between them by structure,
properties and applications
Chain formation ( addition, condensation)
Degree of polymerization
Forming of polymers
Additives to polymers
Polymer
Greek poly-, "many" + -mer, "part/unit")
A polymer can be thought of as a material
made by combining several mers or units.
Polymers are materials consisting of giant
or macromolecules, chain-like molecules
having average molecular weights from
10,000 to more than 1,000,000 g/mol.
They are built by joining many mers or
units through chemical bonding.
Contd..
Polymers are organic materials having Carbon
as the common element in their makeup.
Shaping
Compression moulding
Injection moulding
Extension moulding
Cold moulding
Additives to polymers
Materials that are added to polymers to
improve, change the visual, process or
environmental resistance & degradation
properties.
Can be categorized on their primary purpose,
To add bulk or volume while controlling properties
& costs,
To modify the chemical or physical properties of
polymes
To reinforce the mechanical properties of polymer,
making it stronger or higher in impact strength.
Adhesives to polymers
Materials typically liquid or semi liquid that
adhere or bond items together.
Come from either natural or synthetic sources.
Adhesives cure by either evaporating a solvent
or by chemical reactions that occur between 2
or more constituents.
Very useful
for joining thin or dissimilar materials,
minimizing weights
Providing a vibration-damping joint.
Its disadvantage is that most do not form an
instantaneous joint (need time to cure/harden)
Types of Adhesives
Non reactive adhesives: White
glue, Rubber cement, Natural Rubber,
Polychloroprene
Reactive adhesives: Polyester
resin, Polyols, Acrylic polymers
Natural adhesives: Animal glue,
Casein
Artificial adhesives: Epoxy,
Polyurethane, Cyanoacrylate.
