NOUN► chain· As soon as such heterogeneity enters into a polymer chain, information technology becomes a theoretical possibility.· The forces between atoms on a polymer chain are about two orders of magnitude stronger than those between chains.· Scientists predicted that solitons should be very mobile, but only along the polymer chains.· The alignment of polymer chains at specific distances from one another to form crystalline nuclei will be assisted when intermolecular forces are strong.· The parameter is the average mean square of the unperturbed dimension, which is a characteristic parameter for a given polymer chain. ► solution· In practice the polymer solution is held at a constant temperature while precipitant is added to the stirred solution.· Overall this book is a well produced scholarly account of the physics of polymer solutions.· In 1925, Svedberg first achieved this by subjecting polymer solutions to large force fields, generated at high speeds of rotation.· Alternatively, a polymer solution can be thought of as a system formed by the condensation of solvent into a polymer.· The polymer solution is separated from the pure solvent by a membrane, permeable only to solvent molecules. VERB► use· The same method can not be used for a polymer and one must resort to comparative techniques.· Ocular drug delivery Another area of interest is that of using synthetic polymers for sustained ocular drug delivery.· Molecular dynamics and Monte Carlo simulations can also be used to study polymers in solution.· It is not immediately obvious that using polymers for contact lenses represents an example of the biomedical application of synthetic materials. |
