The slug was coated with some sort of long-chain polymer and tipped with tungsten; that and the pointblank range were why it had got through her blacks.

Chitin is a long-chain polymer that is the main component of crustacean exoskeletons.

The binder molecules are linked to long-chain polymers what solidifies the paste.

The researchers report in Nature Biotechnology that they have genetically engineered a potato to produce a starch that contains none of the long-chain polymers and even shorter short-chain polymers.

Chemically, chitin is a long-chain polymer of a N-acetylglucosamine, a derivative of glucose.

The drought is caused by industrial waste flushed into the ocean, which form an oxygen-permeable barrier of saturated long-chain polymers that prevents evaporation and destroys the precipitation cycle.

As the plane accelerates down the runway, the wind breaks the long-chain polymers apart so the fluid blows off before it disrupts the air flow over the wing.

Hyaluronic acid is a natural complex sugar of the glycosaminoglycan family and is a long-chain polymer containing repeating disaccharide units of Na-glucuronate-N-acetylglucosamine.

Consider, for instance, the effects of heat and sunlight on plastics which are also long-chain polymers.

Perhaps this length of time is required for the long-chain polymers to stabilize after the succussion process ends.
