CHEMISTRY FOR ENGINEERS CROSSWORD PUZZLE
Across
- 1. is a thermoplastic “addition polymer” made from the combination of propylene monomers.
- 5. are defined as polymers that can be melted and recast almost indefinitely. They are molten when heated and harden upon cooling.
- 8. is a field of research and innovation concerned with building 'things'.
- 11. is a process of reacting monomer molecules together in a chemical reaction to form polymer chains.
- 12. a chemical that causes birth defects.
- 14. are polymers in which a crosslinking reaction occurs promoting chemical bonding between macro molecular chains.
- 18. is a wide range of synthetic or semi-synthetic materials that are used in a huge and growing range of applications.
- 19. is a process of heating a thermoplastic sheet to its softening point.
- 21. refers to the degree of structural order of a solid.
- 24. is a polymer made up of siloxane.
- 27. is a polymer derived from more than one species of monomer.
- 29. is a solid material whose constituents are arranged in a highly ordered microscopic structure.
- 30. a substance that causes slight inflammation or other discomfort to the body.
- 33. is a category of polymers that contain the ester functional group in every repeat unit of their main chain.
- 35. the ability of the plastic to resist abrasion and wear.
- 37. can be defined as materials possessing, at minimum, one external dimension measuring 1-100nm.
- 38. is any artificial elastomer, synthesized from petroleum byproducts.
- 39. are nanomaterials that nanosized polymers built from branched units.
- 40. are typically viscous substances that convert into rigid polymers through a curing process.
Down
- 2. is a lightweight, durable thermoplastic with variable crystalline structure.
- 3. is produced from plants and is classified as a polymer.
- 4. an infinite periodic array of points in a space.
- 6. is a substance that is added to a material to make it softer and more flexible.
- 7. is a thermoplastic silky material, generally made from petroleum, that can be melt-processed into fibers, films, or shapes.
- 9. one of the structural categories systems to which crystalline solids can be assigned.
- 10. a chemical that will cause an allergic reaction in a substantial number of exposed people.
- 13. a tough elastic polymeric substance made from the latex of a tropical plant or synthetically.
- 15. is the simplest repeating unit in a simple cubic structure.
- 16. is a chain of chemically linked one type of small molecules (or monomers),
- 17. substance is one that will damage or destroy other substances with which it comes into contact by means of a chemical reaction.
- 20. are referred to three axes of unequal lengths.
- 22. are derived from petroleum oil, and made by scientists and engineers.
- 23. a substance added to a product (as to increase bulk, weight, viscosity, opacity, or strength)
- 25. are simply a combination of two or more constituent materials with different physical or chemical properties.
- 26. the crystal is described by vectors of unequal length.
- 28. Any of numerous natural and synthetic compounds of usually high molecular weight consisting of up to millions of repeated linked units, each a relatively light and simple molecule.
- 31. has three axes that all meet at 90 degrees.
- 32. is used to coat a variety of products because it's waterproof, cuts down on friction, and creates a nonstick surface.
- 34. a chemical that damages chromosomes.
- 36. is an agent with the capacity to cause cancer in humans.
