Anionic and Cationic Polymerization

Anionic and Cationic Polymerization Ionic polymerization is faster than the free radical polymerization.Ionic polymerization is initiated by a positive ion or a negative ion.Depending upon the nature of ions the polymerization takes place in two ways as Anionic and...

Mechanism of Addition Polymerization

Polymerization is a process of reacting monomer molecules together in a chemical reaction to form polymer chains or three-dimensional networks.There are many forms of polymerization and different systems exist to categorize them. Mechanism of Addition Polymerization...

Degree of Polymerization

Degree of Polymerization The number of repeating units (n) in a polymer chain is known as the degree of polymerization. It is represented by the following relationship. Degree of polymerization (n) = Molecular weight of the polymeric network / Molecular weight of the...

Projection of Cone

Projection of Cone Sample Problem1: Draw the projection of  cone , base 30 mm diameter and axis 50 mm long , resting on HP on a point of its base circle with the axis making an angle of 45º with HP and parallel to VP. Steps for Projection of Cone : Simple Position: 1....

Thermoplastic and Thermosetting

Thermoplastic and Thermosetting Thermoplastic: A thermoplastic, or thermosoftening plastic, is a plastic material, polymer, that becomes pliable or moldable above a specific temperature and solidifies upon cooling. Most thermoplastics have a high molecular weight. The...

Natural and Synthetic Polymers

Natural and Synthetic Polymers There are two types of polymers: synthetic and natural. Synthetic polymers are derived from petroleum oil, and made by scientists and engineers. Examples of synthetic polymers include nylon, polyethylene, polyester, Teflon, and epoxy....
