CHEMISTRY GLOSSARY
thermoplastic → termoplastika
Thermoplastic is ap lastic polymer material that can be repeatedly softened through heating and hardened again by cooling. Examples are PVCor polistiren, which when heated, softens to enable moulding and welding, but on cooling hardens. If the finished product is not correct, the material can be heated and manipulated again.
thixotropic fluid → tiksotropni fluid
Thixotropic fluid (thixotropy) is a liquid that becomes less viscous when stirred. Paint and printing inks are thixotropic fluids, they are formulated so that they flow more freely when brushed or rolled.
toxic chemical → bojni otrov
Toxic chemical means any chemical which through its chemical action on life processes can cause death, temporary incapacitation, or permanent harm to humans or animals. This includes all such chemicals, regardless of their origin or of their method of production, and regardless of whether they are produced in facilities, in munitions or elsewhere.
toxicology → toksikologija
Toxicology is a science which studies all kinds of poisons and their effects on live organisms.
transference number → prijenosni broj
Transference number of an ion is the fraction of the total current that is carried by that ion during electrolysis. Different ions carry different fractions of the current because different ions move at different speeds under the same potential gradient. In general, a cation and an anion differ in the amount of current they can carry during electrolysis.
transitional temperature → prijelazna temperatura
Transitional temperature is a temperature at which the crossing from one kind of crystals to another appears to be of the same matter (polymorphy).
transumutation → transmutacija
Transmutation is the conversion of one element into another by a process taking place in the nucleus.
