Properties of Polymers in Computing Devices

A macromolecule of high molecular mass built up by the linking together of small repeated units

A form of composite material used in robotic devices

A simple chemical substance of low molecular weight that can be converted into a polymer (correct)

A type of conducting polymer used in electronic industry

Molecular weight, Crystallinity, Tg, Tm, Melt flow index (MFI) (correct)

Solubility, Refractive index, Surface tension, Heat capacity

Melting point, Color, Elasticity, Hardness

Density, Boiling point, Conductivity, Viscosity

Thermoplastics have higher melting points than thermosetting polymers

Thermoplastics are harder and more brittle than thermosetting polymers

Thermoplastics are poor electrical insulators compared to thermosetting polymers

Thermoplastics can be remelted and reshaped, while thermosetting polymers remain in a permanent solid state once cured (correct)
