Classify each material as a polymer or a composite. plywood ,plastic, concrete ,fiber glass ,paper ,nylon
Answered by maham237 @
A polymer is a single chained molecule that is made up of repeating subunits called monomers. In contrast, a composite is a material that is made from combining two or more molecules with similar physical or chemical properties to produce a hybrid molecule.
Plywood- it is a composite made from sticking together thin strips of wood with glue to ake stable sheets.
Plastic- a polymer made of repeating units called monomers of some kind of organic compounds.
concrete- is a composite made from mixing water cement and rocks. The mixture is not repeating and can branch in different ways which discounts it from being a polymer.
fiberglass- is a composite made that has no repeating units but made from plastic and glass fiber.
paper- is a polymer made of a repeating units of a specific monomer.
nylon- is a polymer manufactured by reacting repeating units of monomers.
