Adhesives

1.Which of following adhesive is used to bond broken pieces of jewelry? (SIBA MDCAT 2025)

  1. Super glue
  2. Epoxy resin
  3. Silicon resin
  4. Starch
Show answer

Correct answer: (a) Super glue

Cyanoacrylate super glue sets in seconds on a thin joint, which suits broken jewellery.

Polymers

2.Poly vinyl chloride (PVC) is the type of? (UHS MDCAT 2025)

  1. Homopolymer
  2. Thermosetting polymer
  3. Thermoplastic polymer
  4. Copolymor
Show answer

Correct answer: (a) Homopolymer

PVC is built from one monomer, vinyl chloride, so it is a homopolymer.

3.Which one is addition polymer? (SIBA MDCAT 2025)

  1. polyvinyl chloride
  2. nylon 6,6
  3. nylon 6,10
  4. polyester
Show answer

Correct answer: (a) polyvinyl chloride

Poly(vinyl chloride) is made by adding monomers with nothing eliminated; the nylons and polyesters are condensation polymers.

4.Bakelite is formed upon polymerization of: (NUMS MDCAT 2024)

  1. Phenol + HCHO dilute base
  2. Phenol + NaOH H2O
  3. Phenol + H2SO4 H2O
  4. Phenol + CH3-C(=O)-Cl H2SO4
Show answer

Correct answer: (a) Phenol + HCHO dilute base

Bakelite is the condensation polymer of phenol with formaldehyde.
