A polymer is a high molecular-weight material, either synthetic or natural, that is composed of repeating units called monomers covalently bonded in a linear fashion. This definition rests largely upon the research of Hermann Staudinger, one of the...

Polymers are high molecular weight materials that are made up of smaller, repeating units called monomers. They typically consist of a primary, long chain backbone molecule with attached side groups. Depending on the nature of the backbone, the polymer...

A POLYMER is any larger MOLECULE, natural or synthetic, that is composed of repeating smaller units; polymerase is an ENZYME present in the cell NUCLEUS engaged in polymerization of DNA; polymerization is the combining of molecules to form larger...

A large molecule consisting of repeating units of a monomer. Polymers may be natural, such as cellulose, or synthetic, such as most plastics. A compound composed of many smaller subunits; results from the process of...

A polymer is a substance composed of molecules with large molecular mass composed of repeating structural units, or monomers, connected by covalent chemical bonds. The word is derived from the Greek, πολυ, polu, "many"; and μέρος, meros,...

The research work in our group centres on the design, the synthesis, and the chemical modification of polymers. In one project, for example, we are testing ways of introducing useful functional groups into a simple commodity polymer such as poly(4-methylstyrene), thereby turning...

Railcars filled with a new bioengineered corn-based polymer are already pulling out of chemical giant DuPont Co.'s $100 million joint-venture factory with multinational agri-processor Tate & Lyle PLC. Next stop could be the carpet in your living room.While other companies are working on several fronts...

The debate regarding the polycarbonate substance called BPA and its use in plastic baby bottles continues. The following is a response to Fit Pregnancy's request for the Food and Drug Administration's most current position on BPA use. The statement comes from the FDA's Office...
