7 handles of cookware

8 transparent glass

9 stiches

Solution

chewing gum was made of a substance called chicle mixed with flavorings. Chicle is a latex sap that comes from the sapodilla tree (native to Central America). In other words, chicle is a form of rubber. Just like rubber bands don't dissolve when you chew them, neither does chicle.

Bulletproof jackets were being manufactured with ballistic nylon material .


The fibers formed from the PBI polymer- fireproof clothes

composite resin fillings.-filling of teeth

5 aeroplane window :High polymers are widely used in aerospace vehicles nowadays. One widely used high polymer for aircraft windshields is polymethyl methacrylate

6 shoes sole :The sole is made out of a hard rubber called SBS rubber. A lot of the same stuff goes into these hiking boots, including padding made from polyurethane foam. Even shoe laces are made from polymers, like nylon and cotton. Cotton is a form of anatural polymer called cellulose

7 handles of cookware:Thermosetting plastics,Polyvinyl chloride (PVC) Perspex Teflon Condensation polymers Terylene Nylon Urea - methanal

8 transparent glass:PMMA:Poly(methyl methacrylate) has a hazy appearance after spreading on the glass. I need transparent clear polymer that can act as glue for my metal nanoparticles,Poly(methyl methacrylate)

9 stitches:Absorbable surgical sutures are made from various materials and, depending on the materials, the absorption can take anywhere from 10 days to eight weeks. Synthetic suture materials are made from a variety of polymers, including polyglycolic acid, polylactic acid, and polydioxanone
