polymer

The ability of living organisms to define the molecular composition of a 'polymer' with complete accuracy is an enviable one.

Gels in the laboratory such as silica gel and some 'polymers' have been studied and exploited for years.

Latex emulsions are made up of 'polymeric' materials suspended in an aqueous solvent by a surfactant.

So, it seems, the Earth's primordial soup was primed with the monomers for making the 'polymeric' components of primitive life.

Polyphosphates are a group of phosphates that are created from 'polymeric' chemical compounds.

The oil droplets contain a molecular metal oxide precursor, which polymerises on contact with water forming a 'polymeric' metal oxide coating at the oil-water interface.

Quill has already identified several ionic liquids in which a wide range of inorganic, organic and 'polymeric' materials are highly soluble, making them prime candidates for small reactor volumes.

This is usually dextrose, but amino acids and glucose 'polymers' can also be used.

Nucleic acids are also 'polymers' , composed of repeating units called nucleotides.

High molecular weight 'polymers' can have viscosity values in the millions of centipoise range.
