website‚ and this information from the movie was found in Professor Brainard’s notes. As the movie rightly states‚ flubber is a polymer. It is composed of many monomers‚ which are linked together by a catalyst (boron). These monomers are linked together with chemical bonds to form long chains. Flubber is made of 1‚000 to 10‚000 monomers linked together. Unlike what was mentioned‚ electricity is not needed; but stirring will definitely speed up the reaction. Temperature does not need to fluctuate

structurally different. Carbohydrates have the general molecular formula CH2O. Starch and cellulose are the two most common carbohydrates. Both are polymers (hence "polysaccharides"); that is‚ each is built from repeating units‚ monomers‚ much as a chain is built from its links. The monomers of both starch and cellulose are the same: units of the sugar glucose. Carbohydrates are one of the four major classes of organic compounds in living cells. They are produced during photosynthesis and are the main sources

four macromolecules are polymers. A polymer is made of several repeated small units called monomers. How the polymers are formed is a method called dehydration synthesis in which the water molecule is removed and two monomers are joined together. When the polymers are breaking down it is process called hydrolysis in when the polymer is mixed with a water molecule and disrupts the bonds between the two monomers. The carbohydrates are the sugar and starches and provide the function of energy to the body

The structure of imide is as shown. Polyimides have been in mass production since 1955. Typical monomers include pyromellitic dianhydride and 4‚4 ’-oxydianiline. Polyimides are a very interesting group of incredibly strong and astoundingly heat and chemical resistant polymers. Their strength and heat
