ITHACA, New York, Nov. 9 -- Cornell University issued the following news:
Synthetic polymers are everywhere in our society - from nylon and polyester clothing to Teflon cookware and epoxy glue. At the molecular level, these polymers' molecules are made of long chains of monomer building blocks, the complexity of which increases functionality in many such materials.
In particular, copolymers, which consist of different types of monomers in the same chain, allow for fine- . . .
