The inorganic polymer (SN) x In polymer chemistry, an inorganic polymer is a polymer with a skeletal structure that does not include carbon atoms in the backbone. [1] Polymers containing inorganic and organic components are sometimes called hybrid polymers, [2] and most so-called inorganic polymers are hybrid polymers. [3]
Alginate: Alginate is the most copious marine natural polymer derived from brown seaweed. Alginate biopolymer applications range from packaging, textile and food industry to biomedical and chemical engineering. The first ever application of alginate was in the form of wound dressing, where its gel-like and absorbent properties were discovered.
Polyacetylene itself did not find practical applications, but organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) emerged as one application of conducting polymers. [9] Teaching and research programs in polymer chemistry were introduced in the 1940s. An Institute for Macromolecular Chemistry was founded in 1940 in Freiburg, Germany under the direction of ...
A generic polysiloxane. Polysiloxane, commonly known as silicone, is the most commonly commercially available inorganic polymer. [1] The large body of existing work on polysiloxane has made it a readily available platform for functionalization to create smart polymers, with a variety of approaches reported which generally center around the addition of metal oxides to a commercially available ...
He also wrote Introduction to Materials Chemistry (John Wiley & Sons, 2008), Phosphorus-Nitrogen Compounds Cyclic, Linear, and High Polymeric Systems (Academic Press, 1972), Chemistry and Applications of Polyphosphazenes (Wiley-Interscience, 2002, and co-authored Contemporary Polymer Chemistry (Prentice Hall, 2003) with Fred Lampe and James Mark.
At this time, suitable (“pre-ceramic”) polymers heated to 1000 °C or higher were shown to split off organic groups and hydrogen and, in the process, the molecular network is rearranged to form amorphous inorganic materials that show both unique chemical and physical properties.
The three schemes below demonstrate functionalization using chain transfer agents (CTA), where one end of the polymer is the radical initiator and the other is a functionalized group. Functionalization of the polymer chain-end allows for the polymer to be used in many diverse settings and applications.
Polythiazyl (polymeric sulfur nitride), (SN) x, is an electrically conductive, gold- or bronze-colored polymer with metallic luster.It was the first conductive inorganic polymer discovered [1] [2] and was also found to be a superconductor at very low temperatures (below 0.26 K).
