Development of the PLFNCs is one of the latest evolutionary steps in polymer technology. The PLFNCs offer attractive potential for diversification and application of conventional polymeric materials. Some of the PLFNCs are already commercially available and applied in industrial products.

Materials. The polystyrene latex, with a mean diameter of 0.42 fim, was synthesized by emulsifier-free emulsion polymerization. Potassium persulfate was used as initiator and the surface charge that stabilizes the latex particles thus originates from sulfate radicals. The synthesis was carried out at the Department of Polymer Technology at Abo Akademi, Finland. 

Many of the considerations discussed above in connection with organic chemistry are, of course, also valid for polymer technology. Solvents for polymers, used in such materials as paints and lacquers, and as media for the polymerization reaction, provide examples of industrial applications of solvating media. 

Composite In polymer technology a combination of a polymeric matrix and a reinforcing fiber with properties that the component materials do not have. The most common matrix resins are unsaturated thermosetting polyesters and epoxies, and reinforcing fibers are glass, carbon, and aramid fibers. The reinforcing fibers may be continuous or discontinuous. Some matrix resins are thermoplastics. 

Modern polymer technology is founded on catalysis, and catalytic methods are extensively used in the production of plastics. Catalysts, since they only catalyse reactions, do not count as polymer constituents but may be present as impurities in the polymeric material. Table 22 lists the usual catalysts used for the polymerization of the polymers mentioned above, which can be found as contaminants in formulations stored in plastic containers. 

Photochemical reactions in organic solids are important in practical fields as diverse as photography, biology, photoresist technology, polymerization, and the decomposition and stabilization of dyes, energetic materials, pharmaceuticals, and polymers [1], They have been equally important in basic research, particularly for preparing matrix-isolated reactive intermediates for spectroscopic investigation [2]. 

The use of polymeric materials is emphasized here because advances in the uses of biocompatible polymers for injuries and wounds have outpaced the dissemination of information. Innovative polymer technology was applied to the common combat and other trauma wounds associated with damaged soft tissue and bleeding. 

In comparison to metals and ceramics, much less attention has been directed to friction properties of polymers. The main reason for this is that the use of polymers in machinery is not so common. However, recent progress in polymer technology has enabled partial substitution of metals by polymeric materials in addition to the wide utilisation of polymer based lubricants. When a solid material is allowed to slide over a polymer surface, complicated factors other than... 

The discovery of homogeneous metallocene catalysts in the 1980s was a very important milestone in polymer technology. With these catalysts the plastic industry is poised to move into an era of an entirely new range of polymeric materials with several specific advantages. From the initial discovery in the 1980s, close to five billion dollars is estimated to have been invested by several large chemical companies in research and development. In a relatively short time, this has resulted in approximately fifteen hundred patent applications Close to 0.5 million tons of metallocene-catalyzed polypropylene is expected to be manufactured by the year 2003. 

Nikolai Emanuel responded, Because you have bought polymer technology plants abroad and have constructed a number of plants, but we do not have industry to manufacture stabilizers for polymers, and often our industry makes polymeric products without stabilizers .

Natural rubber was the only high polymeric material serving humanity until the advent of polymer technology. Hence the term rubber until that point only referred to this natural substance. Since its discovery, the use of rubber has become widespread when worldwide demand increased, the natural rubber available was inadequate. This made it necessary for scientists to obtain substitutes for natural rubber. 

The preparation of polymers of exceptionally high purity containing no residues of initiators, catalysts, or other supplementary compounds inevitably present in the polymer when polymerization is carried out by usual procedures and greatly deteriorating its service properties. This is of particular importance for polymers used in electronics and medicine. In order to improve the quality of polymers obtained by conventional polymerization, they should be freed of impurities, which complicates the technology of polymer synthesis and increases the cost. In radiation-induced initiation, the polymer is pure because in this case initiation is carried out by a fragment of the monomer molecule of the same chemical nature.
