Polymer chemistry

Polymer chemistry or macromolecular chemistry is a multidisciplinary science that deals with the chemical synthesis and chemical properties of polymers or macromolecules. This field covers cellulose; chitin; starches; DNA; synthetic polymers used for plastics; fibers for paints and building materials; thermoplastics (polyester, polyurethane, polymethyl methacrylate, polyvinyl chloride, nylon, rayon, celluloid, silicone, fiberglass); and thermosetting plastics such as vulcanized rubber, Bakelite, Kevlar, and epoxy.Selected Contents: Determining the Chemical Activity of Hydrophobic Organic Compounds in Soil Using Polymer Coated Vials; Polyionic Polymers; Necessary Length of Carbon Nanotubes Required to Optimize Solar Cells; Facile Solution-Phase Synthesis of -Mn O Hierarchical Structures; Formulation of Polyactide-co-glycolic Acid Nanospheres for Encapsulation and Sustained Release on Poly(ethyleneimine)-poly(ethylene glycol) Copolymers Complexed to Oligonucleotides; GNU polyxmass; Rad51 Polymerization Reveals aNewChromatin Remodeling Mechanism...
