    In Chinese, characters for the elements are the last officially created and recognized characters in the Chinese writing system.Unlike characters for unofficial varieties of Chinese (e.g., written Cantonese) or other now-defunct ad hoc characters (e.g., those by the Empress Wu), the names for the elements are official, consistent, and taught (with Mandarin pronunciation) to every Chinese and ...

    A similar process, using a hole (a spinneret) instead of a slit, is used to make a fibre called rayon. Chemically, cellophane, rayon, and cellulose are polymers of glucose; they differ structurally rather than chemically.

  4. IUPAC polymer nomenclature - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IUPAC_polymer_nomenclature

    The terms polymer and macromolecule do not mean the same thing. A polymer is a substance composed of macromolecules. A polymer is a substance composed of macromolecules. The latter usually have a range of molar masses (unit g mol −1 ), the distributions of which are indicated by dispersity ( Đ ).

    Also acid ionization constant or acidity constant. A quantitative measure of the strength of an acid in solution expressed as an equilibrium constant for a chemical dissociation reaction in the context of acid-base reactions. It is often given as its base-10 cologarithm, p K a. acid–base extraction A chemical reaction in which chemical species are separated from other acids and bases. acid ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polymer_chemistry

    Polymer chemistry is a sub-discipline of chemistry that focuses on the structures, chemical synthesis, and chemical and physical properties of polymers and macromolecules. The principles and methods used within polymer chemistry are also applicable through a wide range of other chemistry sub-disciplines like organic chemistry , analytical ...

  8. Polymerization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polymerization

    In polymer chemistry, polymerization (American English), or polymerisation (British English), is a process of reacting monomer molecules together in a chemical reaction to form polymer chains or three-dimensional networks. [1] [2] [3] There are many forms of polymerization [4] and different systems exist to categorize them.

  9. Polyol - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polyol

    In organic chemistry, a polyol is an organic compound containing multiple hydroxyl groups (−OH). The term "polyol" can have slightly different meanings depending on whether it is used in food science or polymer chemistry. Polyols containing two, three and four hydroxyl groups are diols, [1] triols, [2] and tetrols, [3] [4] respectively.
