1 - Question
Usually the polymer resin is mixed with four to ten ingredients during the fabrication to impart useful properties to the finished articles. This is called mix.
a) True
b) False
View Answer
Answer: a
Explanation: Usually the polymer resin is mixed with four to ten ingredients during the fabrication to impart useful properties to the finished articles. This is called mix. They are must and should to get good plastic.
2 - Question
_________ acts as a binder in plastics.
a) Resins
b) Plasticizers
c) Lubricant
d) Accelerators
View Answer
Answer: a
Explanation: Resins acts as the binders in plastic which holds the different constituents together. The product of polymerisation is called resins.
3 - Question
___________ increases the flexibility of the polymer.
a) Resins
b) Catalysts
c) Lubricants
d) Plasticizers
View Answer
Answer: d
Explanation: Plasticizers are used to increase the flexibility of the polymer. It is also used to the increase of plasticity of the polymer.
4 - Question
Plasticizers are used to get the ___________ between the polymeric molecules.
a) Attraction
b) Freedom of movement
c) Pi-bond
d) Sigma bond
View Answer
Answer: b
Explanation: Plasticizers are used to get the greater freedom of movement between the polymeric molecules. Plasticizers neutralise the intermolecular forces of attraction between polymer chains.
5 - Question
Plasticizers ___________ the strength of the plastics.
a) Increase
b) Decrease
c) Do not affect
d) May increase above the room temperature
View Answer
Answer: b
Explanation: Plasticizer decreases the strength of the plastics. They also decrease the chemical resistance of the plasticizers.
6 - Question
_________ makes the polymers impermeable to x-rays.
a) Strontium salts
b) Ammonium salts
c) Calcium salts
d) Barium salts
View Answer
Answer: d
Explanation: The barium salts makes the polymers impermeable to x-rays and asbestos provides heat and corrosion resistance to polymers.
7 - Question
The percentage of the fillers is up to ___________ total moulding mixture.
a) 20%
b) 30%
c) 40%
d) 50%
View Answer
Answer: d
Explanation: The percentage of the fillers is up to the 50% of the total moulding mixture of the plastics. They reduce the cost of the polymers.
8 - Question
Which of the following are used as the fillers?
a) Vegetable oils
b) Camphor
c) Ester of stearic acids
d) Wood flour
View Answer
Answer: d
Explanation: Vegetable oils, camphor and ester of stearic acids are used as the plasticizers. The wood flour, ZnO, PbO are used as the fillers.
9 - Question
__________ prevent moulded article from sticking to the fabrication equipment.
a) Catalyst
b) Fillers
c) Lubricants
d) Stabilizers
View Answer
Answer: c
Explanation: Lubricants prevent moulded article from sticking to the fabrication equipment. They impart flawless and glossy finish to the products.
10 - Question
Lubricants are used to prevent the moulded article from _________
a) Rusting
b) Sticking
c) Not sticking
d) Burning
View Answer
Answer: b
Explanation: Lubricants are used to prevent the moulded article from sticking to the fabrication equipment. Lubricants make the moulding plastics easier.
11 - Question
Which of the following are not used lubricants?
a) Oils
b) Waxes
c) Oleates
d) Salts
View Answer
Answer: d
Explanation: The most commonly used lubricants are oils, waxes, oleates, stereates and soaps. The salts are not used as lubricants.
12 - Question
___________ is used to improve the thermal stability during polymerisation.
a) Accelerators
b) Colouring materials
c) Stabilizers
d) Lubricants
View Answer
Answer: c
Explanation: Stabilizers are used to improve the thermal stability during polymerisation. Accelerators are used to increase the polymerisation of fusion resin during modulation operation into linked infusible form.
13 - Question
Which of the following is a stabilizer?
a) White lead
b) PbO
c) ZnO
d) Metallic oxides
View Answer
Answer: a
Explanation: The PbO, ZnO and metallic oxides are used as the fillers. ZnO and metal oxides are also used as the accelerators. The stabilizers are white lead, lead chromate, red lead.
