Usage examples of polymer.

The second new polymer man got clewed in to Mining and Metallurgy on an emergency job when it was discovered that he had worked summers on a barytes washer in Missouri.

He talked endlessly about his super polymer that when super cooled allowed for state-of-the-art piezoelectric micromotion control.

In using a range of metals and polymers, the coefficient of inharmonicity is proportional to the modulus of elasticity divided by the square of the density.

As Harvath was sliding his gloved hands through the specially designed fittings of the black polymer climbing cups, Rick Morrell crawled over.

Glastic: an ultrahigh molecular weight, thermosetting polymer of boron oxide that has the colloidal properties of glass with the ductility of plastic.

With the assembly complete, the Weisanens carefully sprayed everything, inside and out, from cylinders which Silbert recognized as containing one of the standard fluorocarbon polymers used for sealing unfindable leaks in spaceships.

The red-tinted visors were composed of electrochemical polymers and connected to a passive night sight that intensified ambient light to permit one-color night vision.

Aside from your own genetic and organic microbial matter, in the form of shed skin and faecal material, there are all the polymer and long-chain molecules not naturally occurring here that are present in your clothing and your hygiene products.

His mouth was awash in regurgitated Dylar foam, half chewed tablets, flyspeck shards of polymer.

How can haphazard nubbiness of grooves pressed into synthetic polymer, read and converted into equivalent electric current, passed through an electromagnet that isomorphically excites speaker paper, sucking it back and forth in a pulsing wave that sets up a sympathetic vibration in thin, skin membrane tickling electrical nerve-bursts simulate not only all the instruments of the orchestra but this most cerebrally self-invested device, the hammer-struck, vibrating string?

Later, as confirmation, his course in polymer theory was taught by Professor-Doctor Laszlo Jamf, who was latest in the true succession, Liebig to August Wilhelm von Hofmann, to Herbert Canister to Laszlo Jamf, a direct chain, cause-and-effect.

They got the first clue from the fact that every one of the sixteen types of packages--whether of a clear polymer wrapping that was curiously both brittle and tough, or a metal canister--bore a label made of some paperlike material, each with a picture of something--presumably the contents--in a bowl.

Most of them were walking, but others pedaled bicycles with tires made from rubberized seafoam polymer.

Neptunian polymer armor, gleaming like statues of blue glass, and seething with strands and globules of complex brain matter and neurocircuitry throughout their lengths, visible beneath the semitranslucent skin.

When studying her own scans, months ago, she had seen the sheetlike structures under her diaphragm and suspected she knew what they were, powerful polymer batteries, but she could not remember how to utilize them, or even what they were for.
