Polymer Laboratory: Teaching Polymer Chemistry

This work aims to present the results achieved within the science communication project CV/PVI/1386-Laboratório de Polímeros (Polymer Laboratory), financed by Ciência Viva Agência Nacional para a Cultura Científica e Tecnológica (2006-2008). Several demonstration/experimental kits were developed concerning three main thematics: (1) Polymer concepts; (2) Polymer synthesis and (3) Polymer propert...

Polymer Chemistry Nomenclature

In the simplest case, vinyl monomers are named by using the prefix poly in front of the monomer name, e.g. polyethylene. When a monomer name consists of more than one word, or if the name is preceded by a number or letter, the monomer name is placed in parentheses after the word poly, e.g. poly(acrylic acid) or poly(methyl methacrylate). In general, common names of monomers are used rather than...

Spatial effects in polymer chemistry

Our modern life is no longer conceivable without macromolecular materials. Important developments in materials science, for example in the field of medical technology, electronic communication, transport and energy technology, became only possible thanks to the extensive development in the field of polymer chemistry. Although a large number of polymeric materials have already taken their place ...
