synteesides
Synteesides is a term used in speculative chemistry to denote a hypothetical class of multifunctional organic molecules proposed as versatile crosslinking units in polymer synthesis. In thought experiments and science-fiction inspired analyses, synteesides are described as possessing a central core with three or more reactive termini, enabling rapid and controllable network formation during polymerization. The concept has not been established in peer-reviewed chemistry.
Structural features commonly attributed to synteesides include a modular core that can be rigid or flexible,
Synthesis in the speculative literature often involves convergent assembly from a trifunctional or higher-order core, followed
Proposed applications include high-strength polymers, smart coatings, adhesives, and hydrogel networks with programmable swelling or self-healing
Status and reception: synteesides remain a hypothetical construct without validated experimental data. They appear mainly in
