	Synthetic polymer composition having enhanced antistatic properties - Patent 4024205
		The synthetic polymers prepared in accordance with the subject invention may be in the form of fibers, films, filaments, molded objects and coatings.
		Although antistatic agents are efficacious with the polymers hereinbefore defined, owing to the peculiar nature of the synthetic polyester polymers, it is somewhat disadvantageous to introduce into a polyester melt any remaining unreacted hydroxyl groups.
		Thus, to render the antistatic agents particularly useful with polyester polymers, and to minimize interaction with the polyester, it is contemplated that the polymeric antistatic agent composition hereof be subsequently reacted with an aromatic carboxylic acid or an ester thereof.

		Natural or synthetic polymer may be softened or liquified by being (1) heated, (2) dissolved or (3) suspended in a plasticizer or solvent.
		These polymers in turn were softened or liquified by (i) heat, (ii) solution in a solvent or (iii) suspension in a plasticizer, using conventional methods of softening and liquification already known in the art of polymer handling and processing.
		The polymer and endotherm combinations were then mixed thoroughly to insure the distribution, dispersal, and suspension of the endotherms in the polymers's interstitial spaces; said spaces being formed during the softening of the polymers' long chains of mostly linear molecules.

	Class Definition for Class 521 - SYNTHETIC RESINS OR NATURAL RUBBERS -- PART OF THE CLASS 520 SERIES
		A polyurea is defined to be a polymer containing the moiety, -NN-, and is generally prepared from either a diamine and a dilsocyanate, a diamine and urea, a diamine and phosgene or a bishaloformate and a diamine.
		Solid polymer as used throughout this schedule does not exclude polymers which would be solid except that under the conditions of use their physical state has been changed to satisfy the process conditions required (e.g., molten, dissolved).
		Furthermore, polymers which are to be after-treated and which already have been exposed to a preliminary after-treatment step, (e.g., halogenated polymer, alkylated polymer, etc.) are classified on the basis of the unsaturated monomers or reactants used in the preparation of the polymer.

	Biodegradable Polymers
		Polymers are synthetic and natural macromolecules composed of smaller units called monomers.
		Synthetic polymers were developed for durability and resistance to all forms of degradation.
		Synthetic condensation polymers are generally biodegradable to different extents depending on chain coupling (ester > ether> amide > urethane), morphology (amorphous > crystalline), molecular weight (lower > higher), and hydrophilic is faster than hydrophobic.

	Tissue with semi-synthetic cationic polymer - Patent 6911114
		Semi-synthetic cationic polymer can also have a molecular weight range greater than that of typical synthetic cationic polymers of use in tissuemaking (which often have a range of about 20,000 to about 800,000 Daltons) but lower than that of the natural polymers from which they are derived.
		The semi-synthetic cationic polymers of the present invention may also be added to the pulp slurry or other parts of the tissuemaking process, such that it is present in the tissue web before drying or before contact with surfaces from which the tissue web is to be adhered and released.
		For example, a semi-synthetic cationic polymer may be added to a tissue web as a retention agent, and the same semi-synthetic cationic polymer or another semi-synthetic cationic polymer may further be added to a drying drum as a drum drying additive later in the manufacturing process.

	Fundamentals of Polymers for Fiber Applications
		A molecule used in producing a polymer is a “monomer” — mono is Greek for single, thus a monomer is a “single part”.
		Synthetic polymer fibers can be made with regular structures that allow the chains to pack together tightly, a characteristic that gives filaments good strength.
		This form of step-growth polymerization is used for the manufacture of two of the most important classes of polymers used for textile fibers, polyamide (commonly known as nylon), and polyester.

	Characterizing Synthetic Polymers by MALDI MS
		This last class includes polymers soluble in solvents that are not compatible with matrix materials, and these are the most difficult to analyze by MALDI because a homogeneous mixture of matrix and analyte is not easily prepared.
		Nonsoluble polymers are generally not analyzable by MALDI because a mixture of matrix/analyte cannot be created because of the lack of a common solvent.
		The concept involves combining MALDI with chromatography: The intensity of the polymer present (the relative abundance of the polymer distribution) is determined by the refractive index response of GPC, and the mass of the eluant is then measured by a mass spectrometer.

	Synthetic polymer-based wrinkle fillers
		However, developing a synthetic polymer suitable as a dermal filler presents a number of challenges: it should have a very low risk of allergic and immune reactions; it should not migrate outside the treated area; it should not be toxic and should be mechanically similar to natural skin matrix.
		One approach to developing nontoxic synthetic polymers is to use natural nontoxic monomers.
		Both of these polymers, but especially polyalkylimide are believed to integrate into the skin matrix (they get encapsulated by the body's own collagen) and, as a result, rarely migrate away from the treatment site.

	Unasylva - Vol. 1, No. 3 - The Position of Cellulose as a Fiber-Forming Polymer
		From them the polymers are then built up by a process of polymerization, which unites the small basic units having molecular weights around one hundred by strong chemical bonds to form large molecules having molecular weights of several hundred thousands and, in most cases, possessing the character of a long flexible chain.
		The molecular weight is also proportional to the length of the chain which each polymer molecule represents; the greater this length, the stronger, generally, the mutual cohesion between adjacent polymer molecules in the fiber and the higher the latter's tensile strength.
		In the case of cellulose, we use a polymer that occurs in nature with a very high molecular weight and degrade it during the various steps of manufacturing into a mixture of larger and smaller molecules, which is then processed into fibers or films.
