- In oilfield produced water, polyacrylamide (PAM) is a kind of organic polymer, which may gradually degrade to produce a large number of acrylamide (AM) monomer, and cause great damage to the peripheral nervous system of human and animals.
- Highly absorbent polymers capable of trapping large volumes of organic liquids are attractive materials for cleaning up toxic chemical spills.
- The improvement in toughness of rigid polymers like poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC) has been of great interest for developing their applications.
- the last decades, poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) has been widely studied due to its outstanding mechanical, chemical, and physical properties.
- Thermo-responsive polymer materials are appealing in emerging fields including soft robotics, artificial muscles, and actuators.
- The crack initiation and crack propagation mechanisms of semicrystalline polymers have not been completely resolved.
- Conjugated organic polymers represent an important class of materials for varied technological applications including in active layers of chemical sensors.
- Responsive polymers have been the focus of many studies during the past decade because of their ability to change according to environmental stimuli.
- High polymers have the disadvantage that they are too flexible at high temperatures and too brittle at low temperatures.
- The study of polymer interfaces is of prime importance in the field of tyre technology due to the critical role these contribute to tyre operation.
- Polyurethanes are a broad class of material that finds application in coatings, foams, and solid elastomers.
- Semiflexible polymers and filaments play an important role in biological and chemical physics.
- Genetic methods of polymer synthesis have become an increasingly prominent strategy for the synthesis of well-controlled polymer architectures.
- Due to their macromolecular structure, plastics are limited in their scope of application whenever high barrier functionality against oxygen and water vapour permeation is required.
- The technological importance of the glass transition in amorphous polymers and the characteristic temperature at which it occurs (the glass transition temperature, Tg) is well known as a key aspect of synthetic polymer science (Ferry, 1980; Rowland, 1980; Sears and Darby, 1982).
- It is known that polymer interaction with solid surface limits the mobility of the polymer chain and this consequently affects the physico-chemical properties of the polymer.
- Photo-responsive polymeric micelles have received increasing attention in both academic and industrial fields due to their efficient photo-sensitive nature and unique nanostructure.
- Poor solubility of π-conjugated two-dimensional polymers (C2Ps) has been a significant roadblock in incorporating these emergent materials into electronic devices by simple solution processing.
- While plastics have revolutionized industrial design due to their versatile processability, their relatively low strength has hampered their use in structural components.
- Polypyrrole (PPy) is an intrinsically conducting polymer that has a wide variety of potential applications on electrical devices, sensors, electrode material, anticorrosion and antistatic coatings.
- Polymer characterization has largely helped in the development of thermal analyzers and calorimeters, based mainly on the thermocouple technology, or more recently the semiconductor technology.
- Polymer fibres have the great potential for application due to their large surface area relative to volume, incomparably large length relative to the cross-section, high strength and ease of forming the nonwovens in thermal processing.
