Molded plastics.

Molded plastics.

  • The molded plastics are formed by injection molding.
  • Here the molded plastics are formed by injecting molten liquid plastic into the mold, which is then allowed to stand sometime in order to cool after which it gets solidifies and take the shape of the mold.
  • Plastic injection molding is extremely versatile method of producing parts and products.
  • Not only is plastic injection molding simpler and more reliable, it is also extremely efficient.
  • Many of the plastic parts that we use in everyday life are injection molded.
  • These plastics are used as different shaped containers like shampoo bottles, water bottles and food containers etc.
    Molded plastics.
  • They are also used as computer parts, car parts etc.
    Molded plastics.
  • They are also used in medical application.
  • Home decoration products and lawn decoration are constructed to large extend from molded plastics.

Determination of molecular weight by osmotic pressure method

Determination of molecular weight by osmotic pressure method. Osmotic pressure method is also called membrane osmometry. This method is widely used to determine the number average molecular weight of polymers. This method is based on the phenomenon of osmosis. If a pure solvent is separated from a solution through a semipermeable membrane, due to concentration (chemical potential) difference between the solvent and solution, the solvent will flow into the solution through semipermeable membrane. The pressure applied on the solution to completely stop the flow of solvent into it through semipermeable membrane is called osmotic pressure. The theory of osmotic pressure also applies to a solution of polymers. Ordinary solution obeys Van't Hoff equation i.e π=cRT/M Where π is osmotic pressure, c  is concentration in mass per unit volume, R is gas constant, T is temperature and M is molar mass. The polymer solution are non ideal. Taking into account their deviation and us...
