synthetic polymers

Synthetic polymers today find application in nearly every industry and area of life.

The hydrogel may be composed of either biological or synthetic polymers.

There are many different synthetic polymers currently being used in neural tissue engineering.

Both biological and synthetic polymers have their strengths and weaknesses.

Now new synthetic polymers and composites may help to alleviate these vexing problems.

Carbon nanotubes, gold particles and synthetic polymers are used for this purpose.

There are advantages to using biological polymers over synthetic polymers.

Synthetic polymers and polymer composites are used extensively in dentistry.

Other synthetic polymers are chemically rather more complicated but, elastically, apparently not very widely different.

Most commercial plastics are synthetic polymers derived from petrochemicals.

Starch is used to produce various bioplastics, synthetic polymers that are biodegradable.

Hydrogels are highly absorbent (they can contain over 99.9% water) natural or synthetic polymers.

In contrast most synthetic polymers have much simpler and more random (or stochastic) structures.

Another area of interest is that of using synthetic polymers for sustained ocular drug delivery.

Two main groups of polymers exist: synthetic polymers and biopolymers.

For example, synthetic polymers react with atmospheric oxygen.

These fiber types are chemically different, corresponding to proteins, carbohydrates and synthetic polymers, respectively.

It has also been successfully applied to synthetic polymers, liquid crystals, biopoloymers, and biomembranes.

It is the first of a class of synthetic polymers with ionic properties which are called ionomers.

Consideration of the properties of biological environments that are to be interfaced with synthetic polymers is very important.

Such biomolecules are also present in the composition of the "inks" used for the blood vessel printer, combined with synthetic polymers.

The company states that their product enhances the biodegradation of synthetic polymers by addition of their technology.

Few synthetic polymers are entirely crystalline.

Synthetic polymers, wood, and human tissue as well as metals at high temperature display significant viscoelastic effects.

Resorbable membranes are either animal-derived or synthetic polymers.
