polymer chemistry
Chemistry; Polymer chemistry
Polymer chemistry or macromolecular chemistry is a multidisciplinary science that deals with the chemical synthesis and chemical properties of polymers or macromolecules.
alternating copolymer
Chemistry; Polymer chemistry
A copolymer consisting of macromolecules comprising two species of monomeric units in alternating sequence.
bead-rod model
Chemistry; Polymer chemistry
A model simulating the hydrodynamic properties of a chain macromolecule consisting of a sequence of beads, each of which offers hydrodynamic resistance to the flow of the ...
bead-spring model
Chemistry; Polymer chemistry
A model simulating the hydrodynamic properties of a chain macromolecule consisting of a sequence of beads, each of which offers hydrodynamic resistance to the flow of the ...
block copolymer
Chemistry; Polymer chemistry
A copolymer that is a block polymer. In a block copolymer, adjacent blocks are constitutionally different, i.e., each of these blocks comprises constitutional units derived from ...
branched chain
Chemistry; Polymer chemistry
A chain with at least one branch point intermediate between the boundary units (i.e. the end-groups or other branch points).
chain polymerization
Chemistry; Polymer chemistry
A chain reaction in which the growth of a polymer chain proceeds exclusively by reaction(s) between monomer(s) and reactive site(s) on the polymer chain such that the reactive ...
