Plastics : 

Plastics

Question: : 

Question: Which is more effective at cleaning your hair: a thick, viscous shampoo or a thin, freely flowing shampoo, or are they probably about equal?

Observations About Plastics : 

Observations About Plastics Some plastics are clear, others translucent Some plastics are stiff, others are flexible Some plastics stretch, others don’t Some plastics melt, others don’t Some plastics smell, particularly when hot Some glues dry, others harden without drying

Plastic : 

Plastic Polymers: enormous chain or tree like molecules

Chemical bonds : 

Chemical bonds Metallic bond electrons shared between many atoms Ionic bond atoms become oppositely charged ions Covalent bond atoms share a pair of electrons

Polymerization : 

Polymerization Plastics employ covalent bonds Individual monomer molecules are joined This polymerization forms giant molecules Some molecules are linear chains Some are branched tree-like structures Some are networked together completely

Plastic structure : 

Plastic structure Amorphous random mess of polymers Crystalline neatly oriented polymers

Regimes : 

Regimes Glassy: hard, brittle solid Glass-rubber transition: leathery Rubbery plateau: flexible and elastic Rubbery flow: viscous flow but elastic Reptation: chains slide along their length Liquid flow: viscous liquid

Changing regimes : 

Changing regimes Temperature Plasticizers Chemical dissolved in a polymer to soften it Shift a polymer’s behavior to a different regime

Question: : 

Question: Which is more effective at cleaning your hair: a thick, viscous shampoo or a thin, freely flowing shampoo, or are they probably about equal?

Thermoplastics : 

Thermoplastics Individual strands Change behavioral regimes when heated

Thermosets : 

Thermosets Polymers are cross-linked Can’t melt Vulcanization: cross-linking of a thermoplastic

Glues are Plastics : 

Glues are Plastics White Glue (Water-Soluble Plastic) Model Cement (Solvent-Soluble Plastic) Heat Melting Glue (Glue Gun Glue) UV-Hardening Acrylic Glues (Acrylates) Superglues (Cyanoacrylates) Mix-Hardening Glues (Epoxies)

Oriented Plastics : 

Oriented Plastics Kevlar (Liquid Crystal Plastics) Spectra (Draw-Ordered Plastics)
