macromolecules Flashcards
The simplest amino acid that shows enantiomerism is
alanine
Number of repeating units in the chain is known as:
DP
The length of the polymer chain is specialized by the number of repeating units in the chain known as the degree of polymerization (DP)
Types of polymers on the basis of thermal properties are:
2
Thermosetting polymer: Which become hard on heating and cannot be softened again.
Example: Synthetic varnish, Epoxy resin
Thermoplastic polymer: Which can be softened repeatedly when heated and hardened when cooled with little change in properties.
Example: PVC pipes, Plastic toys.
