Polymers Large molecules

Alkene polymers—large molecules resulting from repetitive bonding together of many hundreds or thousands of small monomer units—are formed by reaction of simple alkenes with a radical initiator at high temperature and... 

Polymers, large molecules made up of smaller molecules in a repeating pattern, are used for many electrochromic materials. Conjugating polymers, which have alternating single and double bonds, are particularly suitable. Figure B shows the electrochemical oxidation of the conjugated polymer, polythiophene. Oxidation (in which electrons are removed) produces a semiconductive polymer. The neutral (unoxidized) polythiophene is red in color, whereas the semiconductive polythiophene (oxidized) is blue. In their neutral... 

Polymer Large molecules formed by combining simpler molecules (monomers) in regular patterns. 

Polymers— large molecules made up of repeating units of smaller molecules called monomers— include such biologically important compounds as proteins and carbohydrates. They also include such industrially important plastics as polyethylene, poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC), and polystyrene.

Polymers Large molecules formed by the combination of many small molecules (monomers). 

Like proteins, carbohydrates occur in almost bewildering varieties. Many of the most important carbohydrates are polymers— large molecules constmcted by hooking together many smaller molecules. We have seen that proteins are polymers constmcted from amino acids. The polymeric carbohydrates are constmcted from molecules called simple sugars or, more precisely, monosaccharides. Monosaccharides are aldehydes or ketones that contain several hydroxyl (—OH) substiments. An example of a monosaccharide is fmctose, with the stmcmre...

We ll explore synthetic polymers, large molecules formed from low molecular weight monomer molecules. Polymers are formed most commonly via addition or condensation polymerization reactions. Their physical and chemical properties make polymers suitable for many practical uses. 

A polymer, large molecules, is made of linked smaller molecules. Firstly, the rubbery properties of rubber trees were discovered by the Mayans. A polyelectrolyte is a macromolecule dissolved in water or polar solvent and gets a large...
