Lignin is synthesized by polymerization of these components and their ratio within the polymer varies between ... Cellulose, hemicellulose and lignin form structures called microfibrils, which ...

A variety of instrumental techniques have been used to determine functional groups in polymers and to elucidate the detail of polymer structure. These include infrared spectroscopy, near-infrared ...

To develop an understanding of the relationships between processing, structure and properties as applied to polymeric materials, and other materials that are dominated by relatively weak bonding ...

Describing an approach to the quantitative analysis of the effect of the chemical structure of linear and network polymers on their properties, this book also presents computer programs that make it ...

Relationships between polymer structure (chemical composition, molecular weight and flexibility, intermolecular order and bonding, supermolecular structure) and practical properties (processability, ...

This clip starts with a brief introduction into what polymers are and lists examples of both natural and synthetic polymers. It then goes on to describe what a smart polymer is, before focusing on ...

Both intext and exercise questions are important for students from the perspective of examination. Solving these questions ...

They're also a good warm-up for traditional forms of academic publication, such as a journal article. Academic essays usually follow an established organisational structure that helps the writer to ...

A new on-surface chemical reaction enables the appearance of solitons in π-conjugated polymers. The reaction, called indenyl coupling, reveals that structural parity drives the appearance of ...
