WHAT
IS POLYMER.? |
Polymer is a substance
formed by a linkage of two or more simple unsaturated
molecule called monomers, to form a single heavier
molecule having same elements in same proportions
as the original monomers. A polymer made from two
or more dissimilar molecules (monomers) is a co-polymer.
Polymers are divided in two categories, one Thermoplastics & other Thermosets. Thermoplastics melt or soften when heated and thus can be recycled. Where as the Thermosets do not melt but decomposes at high temperature. Styrene Butadine Rubber (SBR) is formed by the polymerisation of Styrene (C8 H8). |
The Polymer is a versatile material having following key properties: |
|
They can be used in their original form or as a composite in combination with other reinforcement. The composites can be tailor-made to get the required properties such as color, transparency, strength etc. |
