AI Thread Summary
Polymer melts refer to thermoplastic polymers that have been heated to a point where they become fluid and can flow. This state is essential for various processing techniques in polymer manufacturing. The discussion highlights the difficulty in finding accessible information on the topic, as many scholarly documents tend to be overly complex and dense. The request for simpler explanations and resources indicates a need for clearer, more digestible information regarding polymer melts and their properties.

Hi

i wanted to know what are polymer melts. Googling did not help.
just had to read this theses which has me pulling my hair over this

any help/info/links would be appreciated
 
Chemistry news on Phys.org
Plus what is available in the form of "scholarly documents' on the net is too dense and verbose...
 
Heat a thermoplastic polymer until it flows. Label it "Polymer Melt".

Move on...
 
thanks.
 

Thread 'Solubility of MgSO47H2O in water'

It seems like a simple enough question: what is the solubility of epsom salt in water at 20°C? A graph or table showing how it varies with temperature would be a bonus. But upon searching the internet I have been unable to determine this with confidence. Wikipedia gives the value of 113g/100ml. But other sources disagree and I can't find a definitive source for the information. I even asked chatgpt but it couldn't be sure either. I thought, naively, that this would be easy to look up without...

Thread 'Why does having 8 valence electrons make an element inert?'

I was introduced to the Octet Rule recently and make me wonder, why does 8 valence electrons or a full p orbital always make an element inert? What is so special with a full p orbital? Like take Calcium for an example, its outer orbital is filled but its only the s orbital thats filled so its still reactive not so much as the Alkaline metals but still pretty reactive. Can someone explain it to me? Thanks!!
