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]
A molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP) is a polymer that has been processed using the molecular imprinting technique which leaves cavities in the polymer matrix with an affinity for a chosen "template" molecule. The process usually involves initiating the polymerization of monomers in the presence of a template molecule that is extracted ...
The monomers, which are self-assembled around the template molecule by interaction between functional groups on both the template and monomers, are polymerized to form an imprinted matrix (commonly known in the scientific community as a molecular imprinted polymer (MIP)). The template is subsequently removed in part or entirely, [1] leaving ...
Associative LLPS is more complex to describe, as both solute polymers are present in the dilute and dense phase. Electrostatic-based complex coacervates are the most common, and in that case the solutes are two polyelectrolytes of opposite charge. The Voorn-Overbeek approach applies the Debye-Hückel approximation to the enthalpic term in the ...
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 ...
According to the standard IUPAC definition, the term macromolecule as used in polymer science refers only to a single molecule. For example, a single polymeric molecule is appropriately described as a "macromolecule" or "polymer molecule" rather than a "polymer," which suggests a substance composed of macromolecules.
Polyphosphazenes include a wide range of hybrid inorganic-organic polymers with a number of different skeletal architectures with the backbone P-N-P-N-P-N-. [1] In nearly all of these materials two organic side groups are attached to each phosphorus center. Linear polymers have the formula (N=PR 1 R 2) n, where R 1 and R 2 are organic
