(Amorphous vs semi-crystalline) Using words and visuals, describe the amorphous and semi-crystalline arrangements of polymer chains when forming a solid. Using examples of specific polymers, explain why some types of polymer chains do not readily align and tend to be amorphous while others readily form semi-crystalline structures.

A bouncy rubber ball and a wet lump of clay, both of mass m, are thrown at a wall. Both strike the wall at speed v, but although the ball bounces off with no loss of speed, the clay sticks. What are the changes in momentum of the clay and ball, respectively?

1.(a) Define what are Crystalline Solids and Amorphous Solids? (b) Explain, with a two-dimensional representation, the amorphous and crystalline forms of SiO2? (c) The density of matter largely depends on the atomic weight of the atoms and how closely packed they are in the crystal structure. The atomic weight of nickel is 58.70 amu, and it has a face-centred cubic structure, with a lattice parameter of 3.52 Å. Estimate the theoretical density of nickel.

Mixtures of two different polymers belong to the class of polymer blends. a) Explain why a two-phase system can form when mixing two different polymers. Give two examples of morphology types that may occur (sketch). b) Show by example how the morphology of a blend influences the macroscopic properties of the blend.
