Document Summary

3 major feats: what is the monomer, how are they connected, what is the shape. Saturated (no double bonds) vs. unsaturated (double bonds) Molecule is eliminated for every new bond between monomers found. Can be 2 different monomers or multiple. If acid chloride = hcl: alc/amine + carb. Chop at amide or ester bonds to form polymer. Ester: carb acid + alc, acid chloride + alc. Amide: carb acid + amine, acid chloride + amine. Can be melted and reshaped without degradation of polymer chain. Liquid plastic can be heated to form a solid that cannot be melted back to liquid. Plastic on everything trying to be regulated. Regulated in food but not containers, etc. Esters of phthalic acid mainly used as plasticizers (colorless/odorless) Strengthening: straight chain (not branched, crystalline, crosslinking. Bond that links one polymer to another. 2 options: covalently bound to polymer (incorporated into chains and patterning, disrupts packing) (already in, is not cov. bounded (added in)
