Question

What is a monomer in plastic?

Answer 1

Monomers: The monomer is defined as a simple molecule with two or more binding sites through which it forms covalent linkages with other monomer molecules to form the macromolecule.

Explanation of Monomers

1. Monomers and their dimer counterparts are archetypal plasmonic structures and a versatile theory could rightfully be expected to offer new insights for both individual monomers and for assemblies of such building blocks.
2. The following monomers are commonly used in the synthesis of acrylic solution polymers. Vinyl chloride and vinyl acetate monomers are excluded from this group of monomers as they are used in the manufacture of polyvinyl chloride and polyvinyl acetate polymers.

1. Acrylic solution polymers can be further subdivided into two distinct groups: thermosetting acrylics and thermoplastic acrylics. Thermosetting acrylics are polymers containing backbone monomers, which make up the bulk of the polymer together with at least one monomer which contains a reactive group, the latter will allow cross-linking through heat or with a catalyst.
2. The term includes a system that comprises a mixture of copolymer with a second compound or resin which will cross-link with it. Thermoplastic acrylics are prepared by the homopolymerization or copolymerization of a mixture of acrylic and methacrylic monomers and are usually considered relatively inert.

Monomer in plastic:

1. Plastic is made up of very tiny particles these particles are called monomers
2. Monomers form a strong chain together to form a polymer.
3. The polymers in plastic are a combination of monomers.
