Quotes About Polymers

The science of semiconducting and metallic polymers is inherently interdisciplinary; it falls at the intersection of chemistry and physics.

Nature works with five polymers. Only five polymers. In the natural world, life builds from the bottom up, and it builds in resilience and multiple uses.

Like the Tebbe complex, ruthenium olefin metathesis catalysts can be used for the production of living polymers.

If the polymer chain assumes a helicoidal conformation in the crystalline state, and if it does not contain asymmetric carbon atoms, it can be expected that either helices of the same sense, or, in equal ratio, helices of opposite sense are represented in the lattice.

if you make monomers wet they don't turn into polymers—except when creating life on the Earth.

In 1990, Paul Smith and I decided that conducting polymers as materials had developed to a level of maturity that commercial products were possible. With this as a goal, we founded UNLAX Corporation.

All vinyl polymers may be regarded as built from monomeric units containing a tertiary carbon atom.
