Polymerization


Definition:

  • (n.) The act or process of changing to a polymeric form; the condition resulting from such change.

Example Sentences:

  • (8) The UV and IR absorption spectra of compounds present in the eluate were compared with those of model compounds that were assumed to exist in the gel as impurities after the polymerization (monomers and oligomers of hydroxyethyl methacrylate, decomposition products of initiators).
  • (9) Oligo- or polyribonucleotides are relatively ineffective initiators of polydeoxynucleotide polymerization.
