Polymers
Very large, covalently bonded molecules made from many monomers.
Monomers
Small reactive molecules that join together to form polymers.
Covalent bonds
Strong bonds formed between carbon atoms in polymer chains.
Intermolecular forces
Weak forces that exist between polymer chains.
Nanoscience
The study of small particles between 1 and 100 nanometers in size.
Nanoparticles
Particles that may have different properties compared to bulk materials due to high surface to volume ratio.
High surface to volume ratio
A characteristic of nanoparticles that leads to unique physical and chemical properties.
Catalysts
Substances that increase the rate of a chemical reaction without being consumed.
