There are two types of polymers: synthetic and natural. Synthetic polymers are derived from petroleum oil, and made by scientists and engineers. Examples of synthetic polymers include nylon, ...

Imagine armor as light as fabric yet stronger than steel, built from materials that link together like molecular chainmail.

Polymers are either natural or synthetic macromolecules composed of many repeating units (monomers) usually arranged in the form of a chain. Examples of polymers are silk, rubber, silicone ...

Plastics are examples of polymers - very large molecules formed by the joining of many small molecules called monomers. The uses of plastics are related to their chemical properties. The name of ...

Sodium polyacrylate is an example of a super-absorbing polymer. It is a cross-linked (network) polymer that contains sodium atoms. It absorbs water by a process called osmosis. When the ...

This directory contains a collection of input files for examples that can be run with the PSCF polymer self-consistent field theory software. PSCF is a fortran program that can be used to compute ...
