0 a chemical substance consisting of large molecules made from many smaller and simpler molecules:
Many polymers, such as nylon, are artificial.
1 a natural or artificial substance made from many smaller molecules (= groups of combined atoms)
These solutions provide qualitative insight for the process of secondary oil recovery if the polymer concentration of liquid injected into the reservoir varies with time.
As a result, the polymer-induced stresses are never large.
Polymer solutions were injected through flush-mounted, angled slots located in both of the 57.5 cm walls of the channel.
These mannose polymers are a form of storage carbohydrate that is mobilized following germination.
Figure 13 shows the mean velocity profiles for x-locations between 25 and 200 mm downstream of the injectors during polymer injection.
In particular, for a flexible polymer, equations that only consider entropic contributions to mechanical properties are often useful approximations.
A ramp-filling procedure applied to filling polymer and glass shell with highly pressurized hydrogens.
If liquid paint with volatile solvent is deposited on a substrate, we can assume that initially the polymer is dissolved and unstressed.
