Molecule of any of a class of mostly organic compounds that can react with other molecules of the same or other compounds to form very large molecules (polymers). The essential feature of monomer molecules is the ability to form chemical bonds (see bonding) with at least two other monomer molecules (polyfunctionality). Those able to react with two others can form only chainlike polymers; those able to react with three or more can form cross-linked, network polymers. Examples of monomers (and their polymers) are styrene (polystyrene), ethylene (polyethylene), and amino acids (proteins)
A simple molecule that can form polymers by combining identical or similar molecules
molecular subunits that are linked together in various ways to produce larger molecules called polymers
A simple molecular unit (such as ethylene or styrene) from which a polymer can be made
the simple, unpolymerized form of a compound which is the building block of a polymer
(Chemistry) Any molecule that can be chemically bound as a unit of a polymer Neutron Star: A collapsed star of extremely high density Generally these objects have slightly more mass than the Sun, but are only about 10 km in radius A neutron star has intense gravity, and may also have an intense magnetic field and fast rotational component Oort Cloud: The spherical region around the Sun thought to contain a large number of cometary bodies OSSE: (Oriented Scintillation Spectrometer Experiment) One of four experiments on the Compton Gamma Ray Observatory Parabolic Flight Path: The flight path followed by airplanes in creating a microgravity environment (the shape of a parabola)
A compound consisting of molecules each of which can provide one or more constitutional units
The acrylic monomers we use are liquids They are single units that link up with other acrylic units to form polymers Scientifically speaking, a monomer is defined as a molecule that is able to link up with others
A term denoting a single property or ingredient A molecule of low molecular weight used as a starting material for polymerization to produce molecules of a larger molecular weight called polymers
