Unlike polyethylene and other simple aikene polymers, natural rubber is a polymer of a diene, isoprene (2-methyl-l,3-butadiene). The polymerization takes place by addition of isoprene monomer units to the growing chain, leading to formation of a polymer that still contains double bonds spaced regularly at four-carbon intervals. As the following structure shows, these double bonds have Z stereochemistry ...

A large part of organic and macromolecular chemistry starts with the chemical functionalization of benzene, and benzene units serve us building blocks for important polymers. Naturally, benzene-based aromatic materials also represent an important subclass of jt-conjugaled architectures. Despite some synthetic difficulties related to the generation of structurally well-defined oligo- and poly(phenyl-... 

The situation becomes most complicated in multicomponent systems, for example, if we speak about filling of plasticized polymers and solutions. The viscosity of a dispersion medium may vary here due to different reasons, namely a change in the nature of the solvent, concentration of the solution, molecular weight of the polymer. Naturally, here the interaction between the liquid and the filler changes, for one, a distinct adsorption layer, which modifies the surface and hence the activity (net-formation ability) of the filler, arises. Therefore in such multicomponent systems in the general case we can hardly expect universal values of yield stress, depending only on the concentration of the filler. Experimental data also confirm this conclusion [13],...

The results of searches of these two chemical classes matched by polymer are presented in Table II. Three candidate polymers (natural rubber, neoprene, and nitrile) were found with 15 models giving acceptable test data. 

Synthetics are made up of polymers—natural or synthetic compounds of high molecular weight. Different polymeric materials may be used in the construction of FMLs26,27 ... 

In order to make useful products from polymers we typically follow a three-step process in which we sequentially melt, shape, and cool the polymer. Naturally, given the wide variety of polymers available and their myriad applications, variations on this general process abound. In this chapter, we will concentrate on extrusion, some variant of which is used in the majority of commercial fabrication processes. 

From the above considerations, it appears that chain length is a main characteristic of polymers. Natural macromolecules, particularly in living bodies, can exhibit exact lengths, thus exact molecular masses. For instance haemoglobin molecular mass is known to within one dalton. However, a synthetic polymer...
