Unless the solvent is chosen to be inert, very low molecular weight polymers (oligomers) can result.
This process also allows for high density grafting of high molecular weight polymer which further improves efficacy.
This reaction proceeds rapidly, forming insoluble high molecular weight polymers.
High molecular weight polymers can be made at fast polymerization rates.
Extremely large molecular weight polymers will have trouble diffusing through the bacterial cell wall and cytoplasm.
These steps can be repeated multiple times, potentially leading to high molecular weight polymers.
These agents are made out of high molecular weight polymers.
Curdlan (or beta-1,3-glucan) is a high molecular weight polymer of glucose.
Heating polysilazanes results in crosslinking to form higher molecular weight polymers.
It also reacts with itself to form a trimer or higher molecular weight polymers.
