  2. Polyvinylpyrrolidone - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polyvinylpyrrolidone

    Polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP), also commonly called polyvidone or povidone, is a water-soluble polymer compound made from the monomer N-vinylpyrrolidone. [1] PVP is available in a range of molecular weights and related viscosities, and can be selected according to the desired application properties.

  3. Melting point - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Melting_point

    The melting point (or, rarely, liquefaction point) of a substance is the temperature at which it changes state from solid to liquid. At the melting point the solid and liquid phase exist in equilibrium. The melting point of a substance depends on pressure and is usually specified at a standard pressure such as 1 atmosphere or 100 kPa.

  4. Flerovium - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flerovium

    The melting point was calculated as 284 ± 50 K (11 ± 50 °C), so that flerovium is probably a liquid at room temperature, although the boiling point was not determined. [ 4 ] The electron of a hydrogen-like flerovium ion (Fl 113+ ; remove all but one electron) is expected to move so fast that its mass is 1.79 times that of a stationary ...

    In other cases, the rhyolite appears to be a product of melting of crustal sedimentary rock. [10]: 21 Water vapor plays an important role in lowering the melting point of silicic rock, [10]: 43 and some rhyolitic magmas may have a water content as high as 7–8 weight percent. [20] [21]: 44

  6. Melting - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Melting

    Melting ice cubes illustrate the process of fusion. Melting, or fusion, is a physical process that results in the phase transition of a substance from a solid to a liquid. This occurs when the internal energy of the solid increases, typically by the application of heat or pressure, which increases the substance's temperature to the melting point.

  7. Nylon 6 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nylon_6

    Caprolactam molecule used to synthesize Nylon 6 by ring opening polymerization. Nylon 6 or polycaprolactam is a polymer, in particular semicrystalline polyamide.Unlike most other nylons, nylon 6 is not a condensation polymer, but instead is formed by ring-opening polymerization; this makes it a special case in the comparison between condensation and addition polymers.

  8. Polyether ether ketone - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polyether_ether_ketone

    Polyether ether ketone (PEEK) is a colourless organic thermoplastic polymer in the polyaryletherketone (PAEK) family, used in engineering applications. It was invented in November 1978 [2] and brought to market in the early 1980s by part of Imperial Chemical Industries (ICI), the PEEK division was acquired through a management buyout, giving rise to Victrex PLC.

  9. Crucible - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crucible

    However, chemical reactions with the material in the crucible must be kept in mind; the emergence of melting point-lowering eutectic systems is an especially important consideration. [22] More recently, metals such as nickel and zirconium have been used. The lids are typically loose-fitting in order to allow gases to escape during the heating ...
