Polymerefaasiin
Polymerefaasiin is a hypothetical or theoretical concept within polymer science that describes a phase or state of matter unique to polymers. It suggests that due to the long chain nature of polymer molecules, they can exhibit distinct behavioral phases beyond the typical solid, liquid, and gas states observed in small molecules. These phases are often considered to be intermediate or transitional states that arise from the complex entanglements, ordering, and collective motions of polymer chains.
While not a universally defined term with a strict experimental definition, the concept of polymerefaasiin often
