塑料在我们的社会中比以往任何时候都更加普遍，但公众对塑料为什么具有与玻璃和陶瓷等其他常见材料截然不同的特性的理解有限。该实验室旨在向学生介绍聚合物科学的几个入门原理及其与塑料工业的关系，同时提供讨论与塑料相关的一些可能的环境和健康危害的要点。在本实验中，学生将ε-己内酯合成聚己内酯，然后研究所得聚合物的性质。该程序是基于调查的，学生的任务是确定一种方法进行机械测试，并汇集类数据，以确定和解释所产生的机械性能趋势。后续问题旨在帮助学生了解这一趋势以及它与常见塑料的关系。这一程序已成功地在大学设置和AP化学类...
Plastics are more prevalent in our society than ever before, yet the general public has a limited understanding of why plastics have properties that are vastly different from other common materials such as glass and ceramics. This lab is designed to introduce students to several introductory principles of polymer science and their relation to the plastics industry, while providing points for discussing some of the possible environmental and health hazards associated with plastics. In this lab, students polymerize e-caprolactone to polycaprolactone and then investigate the properties of the resulting polymer. The procedure is inquiry-based in that students are tasked with determining a method for mechanical testing and with pooling the class data to determine and interpret the resulting mechanical property trend. Follow-up questions are designed to help students understand this trend and how it relates to common plastics. This procedure has been successful in a college setting and an AP chemistry class in ...
