ANS-1.Thermoplastics are easily recyclable, compared to thermosetting, because the polymer chain does not degrade when melted down. A thermoset is made of strong polymers that bind together and form one molecule, similar to concrete. ans-4 [b] Gelatin(jello) contains about 18 different amino acids joined together in a chain. Eventually a triple helix (or triple spiral) is the complex molecule that gives the polymer its unique ability to "gel" things. ... The word "gelatin" is from Latin "gelatus" meaning stiff or frozen. [c]Polytetra fluoroethylene, better known as Teflon, is a synthetic fluoropolymer. A synthetic fluoropolymer is a fluorocarbon-based polymer.

1. When you compare thermosetting with thermoplastie polymers, which kind do you think is easier to recycle? Explain. 2. Draw the structural formula of the polymer that would be formed from a) CH2=CHCI b) CF2 = CF2 3. Very pure Poly(dimethyl siloxane) is used in many silicon implants such as ear prosthesis, chin and breast implant, catheter etc. The polymer is formed according to the reaction : CH, CH, n CI- Si-CI - HO-Si-OH - O-SI- 2n H, 0 CH,...
