Question

4. (a) Define polymer chemistry.
(b) Write at least three synthetic fibres and
explain their components and uses.​

Answer 1

Here is your answer..

1- Polymer chemistry is a sub-discipline of chemistry that focuses on the chemical synthesis, structure, and chemical and physical properties of polymers and macromolecules.

2- This type of synthetic fibre is obtained from coal, water and air. Nylon is very lustrous, easy to wash and elastic. ... Nylon finds its application in seat belts of car, sleeping bags, socks, ropes, etc. Nylon is also used in ropes for rock climbing, making parachutes and fishing nets.

Hope it will be helpful for you.

Answer 2

Answer:

4. (a) Polymer chemistry is a sub-discipline of chemistry that focuses on the chemical synthesis, structure, and chemical and physical properties of polymers and macromolecules. The principles and methods used within polymer chemistry are also applicable through a wide range of other chemistry sub-disciplines like organic chemistry, analytical chemistry, and physical chemistry. Many materials have polymeric structures, from fully inorganic metals and ceramics to DNA and other biological molecules, however, polymer chemistry is typically referred to in the context of synthetic, organic compositions. Synthetic polymers are ubiquitous in commercial materials and products in everyday use, commonly referred to as plastics, and rubbers, and are major components of composite materials. Polymer chemistry can also be included in the broader fields of polymer science or even nanotechnology, both of which can be described as encompassing polymer physics and polymer engineering.

(b) This type of synthetic fibre is obtained from coal, water and air. Nylon is very lustrous, easy to wash and elastic. ... Nylon finds its application in seat belts of car, sleeping bags, socks, ropes, etc. Nylon is also used in ropes for rock climbing, making parachutes and fishing nets.
