Answer to Question 1

The nature of copolymerization would cause more randomness to occur along the molecular chain than would the corresponding homopolymers. Therefore, crystallinity would be lower.

Answer to Question 2

Bimodal distributions have two peak areas in the MWD plot. These two peaks indicate that some lower molecular weight material has been mixed with some higher molecular weight material. This mixing is often done to improve the processability of a material with a high, narrow MWD. The lower molecular weight material will melt at lower temperatures and provide lubrication for the higher molecular weight polymers, thus increasing the ease with which they can be processed.

Every flu season is different, and even healthy people can get extremely sick from the flu, as well as spread it to others. The flu season can begin as early as October and last as late as May. Every person over six months of age should get an annual flu vaccine. The vaccine cannot cause you to get influenza, but in some seasons, may not be completely able to prevent you from acquiring influenza due to changes in causative viruses. The viruses in the flu shot are killed—there is no way they can give you the flu. Minor side effects include soreness, redness, or swelling where the shot was given. It is possible to develop a slight fever, and body aches, but these are simply signs that the body is responding to the vaccine and making itself ready to fight off the influenza virus should you come in contact with it.
