Facts (generated by robot; please edit if you find it inaccurate)
- What is a polymer? The most simple definition of a polymer is something made of many units.
- A branched polymer is formed when there are "side chains" attached to a main chain.
- Because the relationship between the alternating ‘modules’ in the polymer is weak, the magnetic properties only exist below 10 kelvin.
- Therefore, the degree of translucence or opaqueness of the polymer is directly affected by its crystallinity.
