What is advantage of polylactic acid?
Polymers ar not good
What is concentration polymerization?
If you're talking about condensation polymerization, it is a reaction in which monomers join together to give a long chain molecule (the polymer) and a small molecule, usually water or hydrochloric acid, like Nylon.
What chemical reaction formed these large molecules?
Large organic molecules (macromolecules) are generally formed by condensation reactions between smaller molecules.Condensation means that a small molecule is formed from the atoms removed during the reaction. In cells, the small molecule is water, so the type of condensation reaction is dehydration.Examples:glucose + (chain of n glucose residues) forms chain of n + 1 residues + wateramino acid + (chain of n amino acid residues) forms chain of n + 1 residues + water
Is a polypeptide chain a polymer?
Proteins are formed by step-growth polymerization. This happens in the ribosomes.
What is the reaction between methanol when heated with pentanoic acid?

What are the similarities between addition polymerization and condensation polymerization?
Polymerization describes the formation of of large molecules (polymers) with repeating structure from smaller molecules (monomers) . The word polymer comes from Greek words meaning many (poly-) and parts (-mer). Many of the resulting molecules are plastics, so polymer is occasionally used in place of the word plastic, though this is not an accurate usage. Polymerization is an all-encompassing term that describes formation of polymers by any method.There are two main types of polymerization; addition polymerization and condensation polymerization. Addition polymerization creates larger molecules by opening up double bonds on the smaller molecules (monomers). These opened-up bonds react with parts of other monomers (single part) to form dimers (double part). This reaction can repeat to add another molecule to for a trimer (three part). This continues until you obtain the right size molecule and you stop the reaction. Addition polymerixation can occur using a single type of monomer. There are no by products of the reaction except the longer chain molecules (polymers).In condensation polymerization, two monomers of different types are used. They have different types of reactive (or functional) groups on them. A reaction between monomer A and monomer B results in a dimer, plus another small molecule (often water) that is not part of the polymer. To create long polymers the monomers must have reactive groups on both ends or a chain cannot be formed.Polymerization is an all-encompassing term for creating polymers by any method. Condensation Polymerization is a term denoting a specific type of reaction for creating polymers.

What is the new sun chip bags made out of?
PLA, PLA stands for polylactic acid, or polylactide, a versatile polymer made from plants.
What are stitches made from?
It depends whether it is absorbable or non-absorbable. Absorbable ones are made from polyglycolic acid, polylactic acid, and polydioxanone. However the non-absorbable ones are made from polypropylene.
Fatty acid used in nylon manufacture?
Nylon is formed by the condensation of Hexamethylamine and Adipic acid.
What joins molecules by removing water?
Sulfuric acid can cause condensation reactions to speed up.
Does sulfuric acid which ionizes to give a negatively charged sulfate ion induce the isomerization of maleic acid?
Self-condensation of malic acid with fuming sulfuric acid gives the pyrone coumalic acid.
