Mechanical properties, characteristics molecular weight

The mechanisms that affect heat transfer in single-phase and two-phase aqueous surfactant solutions is a conjugate problem involving the heater and liquid properties (viscosity, thermal conductivity, heat capacity, surface tension). Besides the effects of heater geometry, its surface characteristics, and wall heat flux level, the bulk concentration of surfactant and its chemistry (ionic nature and molecular weight), surface wetting, surfactant adsorption and desorption, and foaming should be considered. 

Polymer refers to a generic name which is assigned to a vast number of materials of high Molecular weight. These materials are known to exist in numerous forms and numbers because of a very large number and types of atoms present in their molecules. Polymers can be having different chemical structures, physical properties, mechanical behaviour, thermal characteristics, etc., and would be classified on different ways.
