The term inorganic polymer refers generally to one-dimensional polymers, rather than to heavily crosslinked materials such as silicate minerals. Inorganic polymers with tunable or responsive properties are sometimes called smart inorganic polymers. A special class of inorganic polymers are geopolymers, which may be anthropogenic or naturally ...
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 ...
synthetic polymers; inorganic polymers; A strand of cellulose showing the hydrogen bonds (dashed) within and between the chains. Biopolymers are the structural and functional materials that comprise most of the organic matter in organisms. One major class of biopolymers are proteins, which are derived from amino acids.
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.
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).
Bioinorganic chemistry is a field that examines the role of metals in biology.Bioinorganic chemistry includes the study of both natural phenomena such as the behavior of metalloproteins as well as artificially introduced metals, including those that are non-essential, in medicine and toxicology.
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
The polymers are called thiokols. In some cases, polysulfide polymers can be formed by ring-opening polymerization reactions. Polysulfide polymers are also prepared by the addition of polysulfanes to alkenes. An idealized equation is: 2 RCH=CH 2 + H 2 S n → (RCH 2 CH 2) 2 S n. In reality, homogeneous samples of H 2 S n are difficult to ...
