1
Q

Describe 2 ways to stop corrosion

A
  • Physical barriers - Coating a corrodible material with a barrier such as paint or grease
  • Sacrificial protection - A more reactive substance is placed on the corrodible material to stop the protected material from reacting

22
Q

How is LDPE (Low density poly[ethene]) formed

A
  • Addition polymerisation
  • High pressure
  • small amount of oxygen
23
Q

How is HDPE (High density poly[ethene]) formed

A
  • Addition polymerisation
  • Using a catalyst at 50 degrees celsius
24
Q

What is a thermosoftening polymer

A

A polymer that softens when heated

25
Q

What is a thermosetting polymer

A

A polymer that doesn’t soften when heated

26
Q

Difference in structure between thermosoftening polymers and thermosetting polymers

A
  • Thermosoftening polymers have no links between different polymer chains whereas Thermosetting polymers do so do not soften when heated
