What type of polymer are polymer framed guns usually make out of?
Q. Why is the polymer used? What properties does it process to advantage its use for gun frames? What reactions is needed to produce the polymer? if you can please provide info. on the polymer. Thank you Please help me
Asked by X - Mon Oct 26 09:49:43 2009 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments
A. The best answer I can think of is "proprietary thermo-setting plastic." The Glock 17 was the first polymer framed gun, so far as I know, and was so designated because it was the 17th patent Gaston Glock obtained for the polymer he developed. Details of its composition may be available from the Austrian Patent Office, or it may be a trade secret. Polymer frames are light weight, tough, rustproof, impervious to gun oils and cleaning solvents and relatively inexpensive to make once the molds are created. Contrary to popular belief, they are not transparent to x-rays.

What is the polymer and monomer for a lipid?
Q. I think I found a monomer, but I still need to know what the polymer for a lipid is. Please help!
Asked by EMiLY 's the Cubs - Wed Oct 10 20:09:07 2007 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments
A. Lipids are generally esters of glycerol and fatty acids ("triglycerides") some of them , e.g. the highly unsaturated ones such as found in linseed oil, can polymerise to produce initially a sticky product and eventually a dry solid. This is called "drying'' and is an oxidation inititiated process catalysed by metal ions. Oil - based paints in the old days were made from these oils.

Asked by esalina14 - Tue May 22 17:40:09 2007 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments
A. Mata Hari is correct. Award her full points. In particular, vinyl chloride monomer is CH2=CH-Cl. Initiation of polymerization by a cation, X+, anion, X-, or free radical, X*, produces a reactive intermediate, X-CH2-CH*(Cl), which adds to the next vinyl chloride molecule in an endless chain of addition: -[-CH2-CH(Cl)-]n- Other addition polymers are polyethylene, polypropylene, and polystyrene.

For example, some lines or brands will be stronger than others after curing in areas that aren't thick/rounded/fat, some are "harder" on the surface after curing, some are more or less difficult to handle while raw which is usually related to how soft vs. firm they are and how temperature-sensitive (soft results in easy distortion and fingerprints, and those with hot hands probabaly shouldn't use anything but FimoClassic, Kato Polyclay or SuperSculpey-Firm), how easily they darken at recommended baking temps, etc. The German company Eberhard-Faber manufactures all the "Fimo" lines.

Asked by eagle - Wed Oct 28 12:30:36 2009 - - 10 Answers - 0 Comments
A. Many of these points have been covered but here goes anyway. I agree that the metal frames will be a heavier gun and probably more pleasant to shoot, less recoil, easier to stay on target during rapid fire etc. But the lighter polymer frame is going to make for a more comfortable carry, its not going to be dragging your pants down to your knees all day long. As far as durability I don't have a problem with either, It is more of a comfort thing, personally I own some of each and don't have a problem with either. In conclusion, if I were using a gun in a competition, I would rather have a metal frame, but if it were a gun that I was going to carry, and not shoot that often, I would go with a polymer.

A. Your oven is different than a pasta machine. It's the pasta machine that you really have to dedicate to clay usage. They are tremendously hard to safely clean, with all their little nooks and crannies and such. Any tools you use with your clay should not be also used for food. It's just not safe. This does NOT apply to the oven, however. It does apply to the cookie sheet you use, unless you put foil down on it first. If the clay only touches the foil, you're safe to throw that foil away and use that cookie sheet for food. When you bake the clay, you'll notice a slight chemical odor. That's norma, don't worryl. Turn on a fan and/or open a window and you'll be fine. Leave the oven door open for just a few minutes after baking the… [cont.]

Q. I just purchased some Sculpey III polymer clay, and it says bake it in the oven to finish your projects, but now i read somewhere else that you have to designate a specific oven for baking polymer clay and can't use that oven for food. Please help! I need a straight answer.

How do I get started making polymer charms for jewerly?
Q. I want to make some charms made out of polymer for my friends for Christmas, and I'm not sure how to get started or how to go about doing it exactly. Like, what kind of clay should I use, where can I find it, how do I make jewelry out of it, and etc. So, it would help if someone could provide me with some basic facts or a link to a page about how to start going about making polymer jewelry.

A. I have an online polymer clay "encyclopedia" that can answer all of your questions (glassattic.com)... I may even be the person referred to in the post just above this one. My site has lessons, tips, examples, etc. and just loads of information about polymer clay. The pages at the site cover virtually everything associated with polymer clay including a set of pages I call "the basics" --those would include the different brands and lines of polymer clay and how they're different, how to prepare the clay ("condition" it), how to bake it, how to give it a glossy appearance, basic tools that can be helpful, etc. Instead of giving an individual direct link for each page at the site you might be interested in for making charms and for… [cont.]
