  2. Suspension polymerization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suspension_polymerization

    While choosing a liquid phase for suspension polymerization, low viscosity, high thermal conductivity and low-temperature variation of viscosity are generally preferred. The primary advantage of suspension polymerization over other types of polymerization is that a higher degree of polymerization can be achieved without monomer boil-off.

  3. Vinyl polymer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vinyl_polymer

    Vinyl polymers are subject of several structural variations, which greatly expands the range of polymers and their applications. With the exception of polyethylene, vinyl polymers can arise from head-to-tail linking of monomers, head-to-head combined with tail-to-tail, or a mixture of those two patterns. Additionally the substituted carbon center in such polymers is stereogenic (a "chiral center")

  4. Polyvinyl chloride - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polyvinyl_chloride

    Polyvinyl chloride is formed in flat sheets in a variety of thicknesses and colors. As flat sheets, PVC is often expanded to create voids in the interior of the material, providing additional thickness without additional weight and minimal extra cost (see closed-cell PVC foamboard ).

  5. Tacticity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tacticity

    With the aid of spectroscopic techniques such as NMR, it is possible to pinpoint the composition of a polymer in terms of the percentages for each triad. [ 10 ] [ better source needed ] Polymers that are formed by free-radical mechanisms, such as polyvinyl chloride are usually atactic.

  6. Vinyl chloride - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vinyl_chloride

    Vinyl chloride is an organochloride with the formula H 2 C=CHCl. It is also called vinyl chloride monomer (VCM) or chloroethene. It is an important industrial chemical chiefly used to produce the polymer polyvinyl chloride (PVC). Vinyl chloride is a colourless flammable gas that has a sweet odor and is carcinogenic.

  7. Engineering plastic - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Engineering_plastic

    An ABS 3D bell manufactured with a 3D printer. Engineering plastics [1] are a group of plastic materials that have better mechanical or thermal properties than the more widely used commodity plastics (such as polystyrene, polyvinyl chloride, polypropylene and polyethylene).

  8. Solution polymerization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solution_polymerization

    Polyvinyl acetate used further for polyvinyl alcohol is manufactured by radical polymerization in methanol solution. Liquid polybutadienes are made by anionic or radical polymerization in hydrocarbon solutions. Butyl rubber (IIR) by low temperature cationic copolymerization of isobutylene with isoprene in ethylene or methylchloride solution.

  9. High- and low-level - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High-_and_low-level

    In formal methods, a high-level formal specification can be related to a low-level executable implementation (e.g., formally by mathematical proof using formal verification techniques). In sociology and social anthropology , high-level descriptions would be terms like economy and political structure , and low level descriptions would be ...
