Plastic - Coggle Diagram

- - - - name of monomers having substituents or comprising at least two words are bracketed/parenthesis.
    - - poly[styrene–alt–(maleic anhydride)] or alt-copoly(styrene/maleic anhydride)
  - - - Nylon : polyamide
      - Lycra®, Spandex® or elastane : polyester-polyurathene copolymer
      - Kevlar® : polyamide thread
  - - - based on polymer structure
      - ➢ Can be used when the polymer structure is proven
      - ➢ the most common method for condensation polymers, since the polymer
      - typically contains different repeating units than the monomers
- - - - Natural polymers
        ➢ Occur in nature and can be extracted
      - Synthetic polymer
        ➢ Human-made polymers
    - - Thermoplastic
        
        ❑ A material that softens when heated and harden (rigid) again when cooled.
        
        Thermosets
        
        Melt only the first time they are heated.
    - - Linear polymer is simply a chain in which all of the monomers exist in a single
        line.
      - Branched polymers occur when groups of units branch off from the long polymer chain
      - crosslinked polymers, adjacent chains are joined at various positions along their length.
