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]
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 ...
Polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP), also commonly called polyvidone or povidone, is a water-soluble polymer compound made from the monomer N-vinylpyrrolidone. [1] PVP is available in a range of molecular weights and related viscosities, and can be selected according to the desired application properties. [2]
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 ...
Polyacrylamide can be supplied in a powder or liquid form, with the liquid form being subcategorized as solution and emulsion polymer. Even though these products are often called 'polyacrylamide', many are actually copolymers of acrylamide and one or more other species, such as an acrylic acid or a salt thereof.
a solution of hydrogen peroxide and an iron catalyst that is used to oxidize contaminants or waste waters Formaldehyde: the simplest aldehyde; an important precursor to many other chemical compounds, such as polymers and polyfunctional alcohols Formic acid: the simplest carboxylic acid; often used as a source of the hydride ion Grignard reagents
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
Another application of polymer solutions includes the manufacture of fibers by wet or dry spinning or plastic films. Disadvantages of solution polymerization are decrease of monomer and initiator concentration leading to reduction of reaction rate, lower volume utilization of reactor, additional cost of the process related to solvent recycling ...
