Superabsorbent polymer

A polymer is a large molecule which is formed by repeated linkage of small molecule called monomers. Conducting polymer have been the subjects for many decades as possible synthetic metals. Many of these polymer, especially those with a conjugated pi-bond system ,often yield higher conductivity once having undergone the doping process. Polymers are typically insulators due to their very high resistivity .Insulators have tightly bound electrons so that nearly no electron flow occurs ,and they…

THEORY Injection molding is the most commonly used manufacturing process for the fabrication of plastic parts. A wide variety of products are manufactured using injection molding, which vary greatly in their size, complexity, and application. The injection molding process required the use of an injection molding machine, raw plastic material, and a mold. The plastic is melted in the injection molding machine and then injected into the mold, where it cools and solidifies into the final part.…

tract The inhibition efficiency of polymers are highly dependent on group functionalities as well as adsorption characteristics, electronic properties, and molecular weight. The modification of these properties pave the way for future research in inhibitor technology. Introduction The inherent protection of metals and their alloys used in industry are of the upmost importance when it comes to longevity and reliability of structures. Many chemical compounds have been developed over the years…

Organics polymers are emerging materials in various optical and optoelectronic applications due to their superior properties over conventional inorganic materials. For example, devices made out of organic polymers can be flexible, have better mechanical stability on impact, light weight and significantly effective in the cost of manufacturing. Due to these alluring properties, organic polymers are becoming extremely important in applications such as transparent/flexible optoelectronics,…

The chemistry behind polymers, the substance from which plastic is made, is very important in the everyday lives of the average person. To start, “The simplest definition of a polymer is a useful chemical made of many repeating units” (“The Basics”). Further, polymers are not limited to just plastics, but all types of plastic are polymers (“Plastics”). Some examples of polymers include cellulose and DNA (“Plastics”). Plastics are used everywhere in life today, and understanding the way that they…

Knee Wraps: The Benefits and Drawbacks What are knee wraps? The knee wrap is similar to the wrist wrap regarding the logic that applies to both. Knee wraps are also to an “Ace” bandage, except that they are much thicker and stronger. The elastic material that is used to make the knee wrap is the same found in wrist wraps. The allowed width for knee wraps is 8 cm (3 inches), although they can sometimes be 2.0 meter, 2.5 meters or even 3.5 meters long. Advantages of using knee wraps The primary…

In this work we have prepared ceramic-polybenzoxazine composites based on poly(P-ddm) as matrix reinforced by 0, 3, 5, 7, 10, 15, and 20 wt.% of GX-540 silane-treated nano-Cr2O3 filler via a solution blending method in THF. These nanocomposites are used as new organic coating materials. The effect Cr2O3 nanofillers inclusion on the viscoelastic properties of poly(P-ddm) is studied using dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA). Figure 76 illustrates the change in the storage modulus at 50oC and…

and carboxymethylcellulose etc. • Hydroxylpropylmethylcellulose (HPMC): Hydroxylpropylmethylcellulose is semi synthetic, inert, viscoelastic polymers, extensively used not only for mucoadhesion properties but also for its controlled release mechanism. It has been applied to deliver various drugs via different type of dosage forms. HPMC is a non-ionic polymer and lacking of proton donating carboxylic group which causes lesser hydrogen bonding than carboxymethyl cellulose. •…

marking period in science. Slime is made up of elements that are mixed together. The "slime" formula is sodium tetraborate decahydrate (Na2B4O7•10H2O), commonly known as borax, to a solution of white glue and water. White glue is an example of a polymer--it is made of long chains of polyvinyl clear plastic film molecules. These chains slide past one another fairly easily, enabling the glue to be poured from the bottle. But when the borax is added to the glue, a highly (thick and slow-pouring),…

Vinyl Record Materials Materials to used to make records have evolved and changed several times over the years. The earliest disc records from 1889-1894 were made of various materials including wax and. Rubber. Shortly after, a shellac based compound had been experiment with leading to it becoming standard. Each manufactures exact formula varied, but they typically coated records with a shellac (wax) resin Shellac The materials typically used to make for a shellacked disc where cardboard and…
