I got to compare two polymers by discussing the productivity of an item.
For each polymer I have to provide info on: names, drawings of monomers and polymer, reaction(as in polymerization process), intermolecular forces, properties, and properties in relation to intermolecular forces..
my item is a spatula.. The item is not so much important its mainly about comparing two polymers. My polymers are Silicones and SBS rubber...
So far I've figured that silicones is a family of organic polymers. and according to
http://www.pslc.ws/mactest/silicone.htm Polydimethylsiloxane(PDMS) are the specific silicones used for elastomers.. but I'm up to the bit where you have to write about the reaction.. and thats where I need help... its monomer is octamethylcyclotetrasiloxane and idk how to go about writing it...
