6. what is the effect of water on the natural protein bonding in hair?

Explanation / Answer

20.a)A molecule of low molecular weight capable of reacting with identical ordifferent molecules of low molecular weight to form a polymer.

20.b)A compound of high molecular weight derived either by the addition ofmany smaller molecules, as polyethylene, or by the condensation ofmany smaller molecules with the elimination of water, alcohol, or thelike, as nylon.

26.

Vulcanization has effect on many properties:

The trends already mentioned will continue. In future, plastic products will increasingly feature integrated functions and miniaturisation will continue: plastic parts are getting increasingly smaller, finer and
