More recent work includes studies of novel molecules that when doped into polymers recover from photodegradation when left in the dark.

"What this invention proposes is incorporating them into polymers that you can make into any shape you want."

It is a relatively small glycoprotein (80kDa) that aggregates into polymers of 20-30 molecules.

Scientists assumed that because the bulk of fluorinated compounds were incorporated into polymers they would not spread widely in the environment.

The ability of certain main group elements to catenate is currently the subject of research into inorganic polymers.

Like natural petroleum, the chemicals produced can be made into fuels as well as polymers.

The chambers are then irradiated with gamma rays, which change the monomers into polymers.

Molecular wires can be incorporated into polymers, enhancing their mechanical and/or conducting properties.

It takes short polymers of glucose and converts them into long polymers.

A goal is to control the rate at which water can get into polymers.
