Match the following:

P. Polyaramid1. Baby-feeding nipple
Q. Polytetrafluoroethylene2. Optical glasses
R. Polycarbonate3. Non-stick cookware
S. Poly(dimethyl siloxane)4. Bullet-proof jacket

  • A.P-4; Q-3; R-2; S-1
  • B.P-2; Q-3; R-4; S-1
  • C.P-4; Q-1; R-2; S-3
  • D.P-3; Q-4; R-2; S-1

Answer: A

The match is P-4; Q-3; R-2; S-1.

  • Polyaramid fibres (such as Kevlar) are very strong for their weight and are used in bullet-proof jackets.
  • PTFE has a very low surface energy and coefficient of friction and withstands cooking temperatures: non-stick cookware.
  • Polycarbonate is transparent and impact-resistant, used for optical glasses and lenses.
  • Poly(dimethyl siloxane), silicone rubber, is soft, flexible, inert and heat-sterilisable: baby-feeding nipples.

Each other option swaps at least two of these well-established uses, for example putting PTFE on nipples or polyaramid on optical glasses.
