We address the question of the conformation of a polymer near the θ point. To this end, we present an argument that the statistics of polymer rings at the θ point in two dimensions is exactly given by the statistics of the external perimeter ("hull") of a percolation cluster. As a ...
The reaction conditions can affect the the length of the chains and can change the characteristics of the polymer. The polyacrylate is dried and formed into microparticles of irregular shape that are stable for extended periods. The particles quickly swell and absorb water, urine, or other aqueous...
Slime is all about polymers! A polymer is made up of very large chains of molecules. The glue used in slime comprises long chains of polyvinyl acetate molecules (that’s why we recommend PVA glue). These chains slide past one another fairly easily, that keeps the glue flowing. Chemical bon...
Wax or thermoset polymer is often mixed with bonded powder to increase its strength. Once the 3D print is completed, the leftover powder is collected and used for printing another structure. Since the technique is very similar to an inkjet-like process, it is also called the inject 3D Printi...

Dry Erase Marker for Drawing and Coloring As mentioned, what sets this apart from other markers is the ease to erase its markings. It’s possible as the dry erase marker is made of oily silicone polymer that is not absorbed by non-porous surfaces. When the ink dries out, you can effortl...
The high cost of polycarbonate is justified by its long-lasting qualities. 5 Vinyl Synthetic resin or plastic consisting of polyvinyl chloride or a related polymer, used for wallpapers and other covering materials and for gramophone records The vinyl is cut to size with a craft knife Vinyl floor...
Meanwhile, the term “resorbable” has long been used in biological reaction (osteoclast driven bone resorption), but is inappropriate for implants that do not carry the potential to grow back into their original form. The term “absorbable” focuses more on the host metabolism to the foreign ...
Infinity Flex Displays use an advanced polymer that is both flexible and tough enough allowing it to fold and unfold up to thousands of times1. The displays are made using layers of highly-engineered materials topped with award winning Corning® Gorilla® Glass Victus™2, an incredibly hard...
The process is quite similar to the way mechanical springs store energy in the form of elastic material deformation, to the extent that the math describing both is quite similar, save for the variables used. The similarity may in fact be part the reason that students of electrical or ...
