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.
Polymers are large molecules composed of repeated chemical units. The smallest repeating unit is called a mer. The term polymer is derived from the Greek words poly and mers meaning many parts.. Linear polymers are like ropes. For a polymer chain of 10,000 units (a typical length), a standard half-inch-thick rope would be about 128 meters (140 yards) long to represent the length-to-thickness ratio.
