Multipolymer systems, proposed

A Nomenclature for Multipolymer Systems proposed nomenclature is shown by... 

The number of two-polymer, multipolymer, and multimonomer systems reported in the scientific and patent literature continues to rise without an adequate nomenclature to describe the several materials. This chapter is divided into three parts. (1) A proposed nomenclature system which uses a short list of elements (polymers or polymer reaction products). These elements are reacted together in specific ways by binary operations which join the two polymers to form blends, grafts, blocks, crosslinked systems, or more complex combinations. (2) The relationship between the proposed nomenclature and the mathematics of ring theory (a form of the new math9 ) is discussed. (3) A few experimental examples now in the literature are mentioned to show how the new nomenclature scheme already has been used to discover new multipolymer systems.

Tables. The value of the proposed system lies principally in its capability of depicting very complex multipolymer combinations. These tables, unlimited in size, join combinations of elements systematically. Tables IV and V provide examples. Each binary operation has a table and all of the elements can appear in any table. The rows are reacted with the columns in that order. For example, in Table V, Pi at the left of the row is reacted with P2 at the top of the column to synthesize Gi2.
