polymerm
PolymerM, or polymerm, is a hypothetical class of synthetic polymers used in theoretical discussions of polymer science. In this article, polymerm refers to polymers composed of repeating monomer units linked into long chains, with pendant groups that can be varied to tune material properties.
Structure: The repeating unit in polymerm provides a versatile scaffold, allowing linear, branched, or lightly crosslinked
Synthesis and processing: Polymerm can be synthesized through conventional polymerization routes, including free-radical, condensation, or ring-opening
Properties and applications: Because polymerm is hypothetical, reported properties are illustrative. Variants can exhibit high modulus
Considerations: The concept of polymerm underscores trade-offs among processability, performance, and environmental impact. End-of-life options include
