Nature of Materials

Time period during the discovery of polymers, and the 1. It IS chemical elennent, a lightweight, silvery•white meta
ability to synthesize and process polymers. 6. It is not
ennitted ) that when compared to many other types of
plastic, polypropylene is considered to be a safer
thermoplastics in the world, uses range from food
packaging to medical devices to fabric fibers. Of the
variety of commercial plastics available today,
polypropylene is considered one of the safest. It was
supported by the statement from the Environmental
Protection Agency (EPA) that when compared to
many It a commonly encountered composite material
15. Most versatle type of polymer
16. It IS materials' ability to withstand an applied
oad without failure or plastic deformation 19. These
materials th According to the data of Center for
International Environmental Law (CIEL) the
production of plastic increased from 2 million metric
tons in 1950 to 380 million metric tons in 2015 and was
expected to double by 2025. As the world continues to
develop, the use of plastic rapidly increases that lead
for it to become one of the most pressing
environmental issues as a whopping 79 percent of it is
still hanging around, moldering in landfills or, worse,
polluting the environment. at does not produce toxic
substances and must be compatible with body tissues
20. It IS the engineering of functional systems at the
molecular scale.
of main Group 13 (Illa, or boron group) ofthe periodic
table.
Z. These are distance«lependent forces between
atoms and molecules not associated with covalent or
ionic Chemical bonds.
3. It IS defined as the physical force exerted on an
object.
5. It IS a chemical bond that Involves the sharing of
electron pairs between atoms.
7. It is is the complete transfer of valence
electron(s) between atoms.
8. It IS an interaction involving a hydrogen
atom located between a pair of other atoms having a
high affinity for electrons
10. Atoms of some elements have two or more
different atomic m awes
11. It has a crystalline structure in which the atoms
are arranged In orderly manner
12. Greek word for pottery
13. It is a combination of two materials with
different phys cal and chemical properties.
