RELATED: Disney to Buy Lucasfilm for $4.05 Billion; New 'Star Wars' Movie Planned for 2015. While the rights on those five films eventually will revert to Disney, that in perpetuity pact for the first film appears to be an obstacle to Disney releasing a complete set -- unless a deal can be made.
Materials Science and Engineering: Polymers. A polymer (the name means many parts) is long chain molecule made up many repeating units, called monomers. Polymers can be natural (organic) or synthetic.
Intro to Polymers. The term polymer is commonly used today in the plastics and composites industry, and it is often used to imply the meaning of plastic or resin. In actuality, the term polymer means much more. A polymer is chemical compound where molecules are bonded together in long repeating chains.These materials, polymers, have unique properties and can be tailored depending on their intended purpose. Polymers are both man made and are naturally occurring.For example, rubber is a natural polymeric material that is extremely useful and has been used by man for thousands of years. Rubber has excellent elastic properties, and this is a result of the molecular polymer chain created by mother nature.Both man made and natural polymers can exhibit elastic properties, however, polymers can exhibit a wide range of additional useful properties.Depending on the desired use, polymers can be finely tuned to leverage the advantageous property. These properties include: 1  Reflective.ntro to Polymers.
