"Synthetic polymers" refer to man-made materials that are made up of long chains of repeating units called monomers. These polymers are created through chemical processes and are used in a wide range of applications, such as making plastics, fibers, adhesives, and coatings. They are designed to have specific properties and characteristics that make them useful in various industries.

Cultivating his own sort of synesthesia, Bavington assigns musical notes to tones of color and compositional elements, so that his paintings seem to pulsate and reverberate with rhythmic bands
of synthetic polymer paint.
With Zimm focusing on the mathematical theory and Doty on the instrumentation and experimental methodology, they characterized the size and shape of a variety of
synthetic polymers in papers that are still viewed as classics of polymer chemistry (1).

Intrigued, Vezzosi tried out the recipes and ended up with a compound resembling Bakelite, one of the
first synthetic polymers, which was widely used in the early 1900s.
People use organic solvents and
synthetic polymers as additives to prevent cell cultures from freezing damage.
Their breakthrough provides a new and robust platform from which to assemble sequence -

«During her varied career Asmodelle continued to paint and exhibit and large canvas work using
synthetic polymer became her preferred method.
The bottom layer of the material, described April 3 at the Materials Research Society spring meeting, features carbon nanotube pores embedded within a
flexible synthetic polymer film.
Between the two films, the team sandwiched a gel electrolyte made by mixing a water -
soluble synthetic polymer with phosphoric acid and water.
It's a flat structure only two molecules thick, and it's composed of peptoids, which are
synthetic polymers closely related to protein - forming peptides.
One of Hoyt's latest bows, the 900CX, aims for a slight edge in the technology race by replacing the typical fiberglass outer coating with a much
lighter synthetic polymer and using a higher percentage of carbon fiber inside.
While
previous synthetic polymers involved simple covalent bonding, where molecules shared electrons to bind them together, this system uses highly specific «grabber» ends on each molecule that bond with only one type of «pin» end on another molecule.
What It's Made of: A
rigid synthetic polymer composed of tiny rods spaced about 350 nanometers (billionths of a meter) apart, a gap small enough to manipulate waves of visible light.
The researchers have therefore succeeded in encoding in a
unique synthetic polymer both mechanical properties (flexibility, strain profile) and optical properties, which had never previously been achieved.
Modeled after platelets — cells that circulate in the blood and help stop bleeding by forming clots — the nanoparticles are less than 100 nm wide and made of
synthetic polymers stuck together like a ball of wet sand.
This year chemists will make
enough synthetic polymers, mainly polyethylene and polypropylene, to fill the Empire State Building at least nine times over.

Key Products: For a greener way to a great - looking barnet, try John Masters Organics Sculpting Clay, which eschews silicone and
synthetic polymers for organic beeswax and three types of natural clay to create a matte - finish styling clay.
Durable chew products typically are manufactured from plastics, including nylon and
other synthetic polymers impregnated with flavorings.
Forgoing linseed oil for the
same synthetic polymer used in Plexiglas, Bocour and Golden created a new class of paint that had many benefits over oil paint: acrylic paint dries faster than oil, it does not yellow because the acrylic resin is as clear as glass when dry, and most importantly, it can be applied thickly with the same consistency as oil paint or thinly with the same consistency as watercolor, all while retaining full color saturation.

Placed together in the expansive, sparsely installed main gallery, the cocktail of visual seductions and visceral assaults of Image is an Orphan contrasts with the deathlike presence of the pair of sculptures made of
cast synthetic polymer: Cold Horizontal (IMAGE) and Cold Horizontal (BODY).
