AI Thread Summary
HIPS, or high-impact polystyrene, is primarily identified as a polystyrene-polybutadiene copolymer blended with polystyrene and polybutadiene, which aligns with option C from the initial discussion. The second part of the conversation revolves around the classification of copolymers, where a copolymer formed with large groups of similar mers is correctly referred to as a block copolymer. This clarification emphasizes the importance of understanding the chemical structure and terminology related to copolymers in materials science.

1. HIPS is a :
a)Polystyrene-Polybutadiene blend
b)High Impact Polybutadiene Blend
c)Polystyrene-Polybutadiene copolymer blended with polystyrene and polybutadiene
d)High polystyrene matrix material

I'm pretty sure it's not B, and I'm leaning towards C, but I'm not very confident



2. A copolymer that is created with many large groups of like mers attached to each other would be best called a ______________ copolymer.

I'm not sure on this at all but i think it's "block"



please only answer if you're positive, because i want to makesure i understand all this

thanks

Hello! I've been brainstorming on how to prevent a lot of ferrofluid droplets that are in the same container. This is for an art idea that I have (I absolutely love it when science and art come together) where I want it to look like a murmuration of starlings. Here's a link of what they look like: How could I make this happen? The only way I can think of to achieve the desired effect is to have varying droplet sizes of ferrofluid suspended in a clear viscous liquid. Im hoping for the...
Hello everyone! I am curious to learn how laboratories handle in-house chip manufacturing using soft lithography for microfluidics research. In the lab where I worked, only the mask for lithography was made by an external company, whereas the mold and chip fabrication were carried out by us. The process of making PDMS chips required around 30 min–1 h of manual work between prepolymer casting, punching/cutting, and plasma bonding. However, the total time required to make them was around 4...
