Polyoxyethylene. Synthetic polymers with a variety of compositionaHy similar chemical stmctures are as follows. Based on polarity, poly(oxymethylene) (1) would be expected to be water soluble. It is a highly crystalline polymer used in engineering plastics, but it is not water-soluble (see... [Pg.315]

This chapter discusses synthetic polymers based primarily on monomers produced from petroleum chemicals. The first section covers the synthesis of thermoplastics and engineering resins. The second part reviews thermosetting plastics and their uses. The third part discusses the chemistry of synthetic rubbers, including a brief review on thermoplastic elastomers, which are generally not used for tire production but to make other rubber products. The last section addresses synthetic fibers. [Pg.324]

It has been a long way from early synthetic polymers created as artificial substitutes (Kunststoffe) for scarcening metal resources, to modem materials tailormade to fill specific functions through particular properties and processing characteristics in many areas of application. Ever since they were first prepared, surprising new or improved properties have been discovered or engineered. [Pg.449]

Another example from the "bio-world" is the production of micro-organisms for optimum product yield and quality. An example could be micro-organisms for the production of penicillin, whereas recently there have been developments to explore routes to produce monomers for synthetic polymers by means of micro-organisms. Diversity in the micro-organisms to be tested can be achieved either by genetic engineering or by random mutagenesis. [Pg.736]

Abstract Synthetic polymers and biopolymers are extensively used within the field of tissue engineering. Some common examples of these materials include polylactic acid, polyglycolic acid, collagen, elastin, and various forms of polysaccharides. In terms of application, these materials are primarily used in the construction of scaffolds that aid in the local delivery of cells and growth factors, and in many cases fulfill a mechanical role in supporting physiologic loads that would otherwise be supported by a healthy tissue. In this review we will examine the development of scaffolds derived from biopolymers and their use with various cell types in the context of tissue engineering the nucleus pulposus of the intervertebral disc. [Pg.201]

Divalent transition metal ions are shown to form complexes with nitrogen-oxygen-donor ligands on the synthetic polymer side chains and the terminal histidine residues in the coiled coils.

Polymers for membrane preparation can be classified into natural and synthetic ones. Polysaccharides and rubbers are important examples of natural membrane materials, but only cellulose derivatives are still used in large scale for technical membranes. By far the majority of current membranes are made from synthetic polymers (which, however, originally had been developed for many other engineering applications). Macromolecular structure is crucial for membrane barrier and other properties main factors include the chemical structure of the chain segments, molar mass (chain length), chain flexibility as well as intra- and intermolecular interactions. [Pg.22]

The field of chemical kinetics and reaction engineering has grown over the years. New experimental techniques have been developed to follow the progress of chemical reactions and these have aided study of the fundamentals and mechanisms of chemical reactions. The availability of personal computers has enhanced the simulation of complex chemical reactions and reactor stability analysis. These activities have resulted in improved designs of industrial reactors. An increased number of industrial patents now relate to new catalysts and catalytic processes, synthetic polymers, and novel reactor designs. Lin [1] has given a comprehensive review of chemical reactions involving kinetics and mechanisms. [Pg.1]

In the conclusion we should say that the chemistry of synthetic elementorganic polymers is a young science and still has a lot to discover. The possibilities of elementorganic polymer chemistry, and consequently of their production development, are truly unlimited. If originally synthetic polymers appeared as a result of emulating natural compounds and as their substitutes, nowadays we have many polymers which resulted from scientific and engineering creativity and have no counterparts in nature. [Pg.14]
