Generate your Abstract and line of thought
using the following keywords:
Polymeric materials: polyalloy, copolymer
Discuss the following topics in correct language
and organized flow of ideas within your introduction:
1. Difference between co-polymers and poly-alloys.
2. Types of structures produced by co-polymerization.
3. Typical examples and types of co-polymers.
4. Types of structures generated by poly-alloying.
5. Conditions for good poly-alloying.
6. Advantages of poly-alloying and co-polymerization, and their limitations.
The introduction should be followed with "Material"
section, containing the following properties:
-Chemical Name, Trade Name, Wt. % of U.S. Plastic Sales(*), Bulk List
Price $/Ib (*), Type of Plastic, Density, Tensile Strength, Young's Modulus
(E), Impact Strength: Izod, Elongation % , Hardness, Dielectric Strength,
Max. Service Temperature (no load), Melting Point, Glass Transition Temperature
(Properties marked with (*) are not necessary).
-Repeated unit
-General properties of the polymer: advantages and limitations
-Typical applications
Include a full account for the experimental procedures, giving details
for mixing ratios.
1. Mechanical Testing: tension test to measure the tensile strength.
2. Flammability Testing: smoke color, melting behavior, odour
Discuss the agreement or disagreement of the
experimental results with the tabulated data for the used polymers, and
those obtained in the experiment.
Relate the produced mechanical and flammability properties to the structure.
Comment on poly-alloying and co-polymerization.
