C2 - Material Choices Revision Material Choices (C2) Revision for Exams

Properties of Materials When we decide which material to use, we have to think about the properties of the material. Polystyrene is used for hot drink containers because it is waterproof, low density and a poor thermal conductor.

Strong under compression Property Words Strong This means that it is hard to break a material. Strong under tension The material needs a big load to break it when stretched. Strong under compression The material needs a big load to make it break when squashed. Hard The material is difficult to dent or scratch. Soft The material can be scratched or dented easily. Flexible The material will bend easily and without breaking. Stiff This means that a material is difficult to bend or stretch. High density This means that a material has a big mass for its size. High melting point The material will turn into a liquid at a high temperature.

Testing Materials Is there a real difference? Rope 1 2 ropes from the same factory were tested by the quality control department. The length of rope used was the same to make it a fair test. Is there a real difference? Rope 1 Force needed to break it (N) Rope 2 1 200 240 2 210 250 3 230 4 220 5 100 Rope 2: Mean is 232. Range is 220-250. There is no real difference because the ranges overlap. For some uses, materials need to have a high tensile strength. You don’t want ropes or thread holding your clothes together to break when stretched. For rope 1, Mean is 220N. Range is 200-240 (Outlier not included) For rope 1, 100 was an outlier because it was very different to the other results.

Polymerization Polymerization polymerisation Polythene Ethene Polymers are very large molecules made when many small molecules join together. The small molecules are called monomers. Polymerization is making a polymer from many monomers.

May the force be with you The atoms in a polymer are held together by strong covalent bonds. A lot of energy is needed to break them. Heating with a Bunsen burner or pulling won’t break these bonds. There are weaker forces between the molecules. They don’t need so much energy to break them. When a rope snaps, it is because these forces are broken. When a plastic melts, it is these forces which are broken.

Polymers aren’t always the same lengths Longer molecules means greater tensile strength. Longer molecules Stronger forces between molecules More energy needed to separate molecules That’s why the melting point is higher when the molecules are longer.

Cross-links and Plasticizers Natural rubber is very flexible because the forces between molecules are weak and they can slide over each other. Vulcanised rubber is less flexible, harder and stronger if stretched. This is because the cross-links stop the chains from sliding over each other. Plasticizers are small molecules which push the polymer chains apart. The force between them decreases and the chains can slide over each other. The polymer is softer and more flexible.

Crystallinity is crazy? (Higher only) If we say a polymer is crystalline it means the long molecules line up close to each other. These polymer chains are close together. The polythene has a higher density, is stronger and has a higher melting point. Forces between molecules are stronger so more energy is needed to overcome the forces. High density polythene In low density polythene, the molecules have branches. The branches keep the chains apart. It is not crystalline. The forces between molecules decrease because they are further apart. Low density polythene

Millions of years ago, tiny sea creatures died. They became crude oil. They drill for oil at an oil rig and then transport it by tanker, pipeline and lorries to the oil refinery. Crude oil is a mixture of hydrocarbons. Hydrocarbons are molecules with only carbon and hydrogen in. E.g. CH4 and C20H42 but not CO2. Drilling, refining and making the plastic products require energy. Transport requires energy. At the oil refinery, the mixture is separated into fuels, lubricants and the raw materials for making polymers. Most of the products are fuels. Crude oil is running out. Oil spills harm wildlife.

Natural or Synthetic Some materials are natural. They are made from plants or animals: Cotton is made from the cotton plant Silk is made by the silkworm Wool is made when a sheep is sheared Leather is made from the hide of cows Paper and wood are made from trees Lots of materials are synthetic now. Synthetic means made by a chemical reaction. Anything with a name starting with poly is synthetic, for example polythene, polyester and pvc (polyvinylchloride ). Other synthetic materials include acrylic, viscose and nylon. The raw material is usually crude oil.

Cradle to Grave Consider the energy needed to dispose of it By law, a Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) must be carried out on products. The purpose of an LCA is to make sure the product is made in the most sustainable way possible. Sustainable means meeting the needs of today but also making sure that future generations can meet their needs. Consider the raw materials needed to make the material you want e.g. crude oil for polythene Consider the energy needed to make the material from the raw material Consider the energy needed for manufacture of the product e.g. bag from polythene Use Consider the energy needed to use it e.g. petrol for a car Consider the energy needed to maintain it e.g. car wash Consider the chemicals needed to maintain it e.g. lubricating oil at services Consider the energy needed to dispose of it Consider the space needed to dispose of it.

The problem with plastics – the grave Plastics are non-biodegradable and crude oil is running out – don’t just put plastic objects in the bin. Landfill is such a waste. Try to reuse bottles, bags and containers. Give old toys to a friend or a charity shop. Burning plastics makes CO2, a greenhouse gas. The heat energy could be used to make electricity though. You can recycle your plastic rubbish. It is sorted into type of plastic, melted and remoulded into new objects.

Can we, should we? Science can tell us if making a product is possible. For instance making cars completely from plastics is possible. It can be done. But should we do it? They would be lighter – not good on windy days. Crude oil is running out – I’d rather use it as a fuel. How much would the cars cost to buy? They might last longer – car manufacturers would lay people off.
