Polymer vs. Laminate

Any of numerous natural and synthetic compounds of usually high molecular weight consisting of up to millions of repeated linked units, each a relatively light and simple molecule.

To cover with a thin sheet of material, as for preservation.

(organic chemistry) A long or larger molecule consisting of a chain or network of many repeating units, formed by chemically bonding together many identical or similar small molecules called monomers. A polymer is formed by polymerization, the joining of many monomer molecules.

To beat or compress (metal) into a thin plate or sheet.

A material consisting of such polymer molecules.

To divide into thin layers.

Any one of two or more substances related to each other by polymerism; specifically, a substance produced from another substance by chemical polymerization.

To make by uniting several layers.

A naturally occurring or synthetic compound consisting of large molecules made up of a linked series of repeated simple monomers

To split into thin layers or sheets.

Consisting of, arranged in, or covered with laminae.

A laminated product, such as plywood.

A thin sheet of material, or the material itself, such as plastic, used to laminate something.

To assemble from thin sheets glued together.

To cover something flat, usually paper, in adhesive protective plastic.

To form, as metal, into a thin plate, as by rolling.

To cause to separate into thin plates or layers; to divide into thin plates.

Material formed of thin sheets glued together.

Consisting of, or covered with, laminae, or thin plates, scales, or layers, one over another; laminated.

Consisting of, or covered with, laminæ, or thin plates, scales, or layers, one over another; laminated.

To cause to separate into thin plates or layers; to divide into thin plates.

To form, as metal, into a thin plate, as by rolling.

To form by uniting two or more layers (in sheet form) of a material, so that the layers are bonded tightly.

To unite (layers in sheet form) by bonding, so as to create a single object with multiple layers; - used with the material in sheet form as the object; as, to laminate plywood.

To separate into laminæ.

A sheet of material made by bonding two or more sheets or layers

Create laminate by putting together several thin sheets of a material

Press or beat (metals) into thin sheets

Cover with a thin sheet;

Split (wood) into thin sheets
