For example, a protein is a polymer whose subunits are selected from a set of 20 or more amino acids.

For example, negatively-charged colloidal silica or clay particles can be flocculated by the addition of a positively-charged polymer.

This treatment typically consists of a thin polymer layer that is unidirectionally rubbed using, for example, a cloth.

For example, when a thin polymer coating ( usually a polyimide ) is spread on a glass substrate and rubbed in a single direction with a cloth, it is observed that liquid crystal molecules in contact with that surface align with the rubbing direction.

Most often the term monomer refers to the organic molecules which form synthetic polymers, such as, for example, vinyl chloride, which is used to produce the polymer polyvinyl chloride ( PVC ).

This swimming board is made of polystyrene, an example of a polymer.

For example, the structure of a crystalline protein or polynucleotide, such as a sample prepared for x-ray crystallography, may be defined in terms of a conventional unit cell composed of one or more polymer molecules with cell dimensions of hundreds of angstroms or more.

For example, the odd metallic color of plastic made by accidentally adding a thousand times too much catalyst led scientists to explore its metal-like properties, inventing electrically conductive plastic and light emitting plastic -— an invention that won the Nobel Prize in 2000 and has led to innovative lighting, display screens, wallpaper and much more ( see conductive polymer, and organic light-emitting diode or OLED ).

For example there is increasing interest in glass fiber reinforced concrete ( GFRC ) and in various applications of polymer fibres incorporated into concrete.

LLDPE is a substantially linear polymer with significant numbers of short branches, commonly made by copolymerization of ethylene with short-chain alpha-olefins ( for example, 1-butene, 1-hexene and 1-octene ).

VLDPE is a substantially linear polymer with high levels of short-chain branches, commonly made by copolymerization of ethylene with short-chain alpha-olefins ( for example, 1-butene, 1-hexene and 1-octene ).

Melting points and glass transition temperatures for most polymers are available from standard compilations, and the method can show polymer degradation by the lowering of the expected melting point, T < sub > m </ sub >, for example.

At that time the phrase polymer, as introduced by Berzelius in 1833, had a different meaning fro89m that of today: it simply was another form of isomerism for example with benzene and acetylene and had little to do with size.

For example, a single polymeric molecule is appropriately described as a " macromolecule " or " polymer molecule " rather than a " polymer ", which suggests a substance composed of macromolecules.

An example is oxidation induction time ( OIT ) by DSC which can determine the amount of oxidation stabiliser present in a thermoplastic ( usually a polyolefin ) polymer material.

For example, he coined the term " polymer " in 1833 to describe organic compounds which shared identical empirical formulas but which differed in overall molecular weight, the larger of the compounds being described as " polymers " of the smallest.

An example which highlights the distinction and the dependence of properties on structure ( i. e., SAR ) is the relation of polyphenols to the true phenolic polymer lignin, a complex, random polymer that constitutes the woody tissue of gymnosperms.

Subsequently the bound biological agent may be for example fixed by Layer by layer depositation of alternatively charged polymer coatingsAlternatively three dimensional lattices ( hydrogel / xerogel ) can be used to chemically or physically entrap these ( where by chemically entraped it is meant that the biological element is kept in place by a strong bond, while physically they are kept in place being unable to pass through the pores of the gel matrix ).

For example, polyethylene usually degrades by random scission-that is by a random breakage of the linkages ( bonds ) that hold the atoms of the polymer together.

For example, 2K reactive mixture can use low molecular weight monomer, oligomer, and functionalized low molecular polymer to make final cross-linked high molecular weight polymer.

Watermarks can also be made on polymer currency, for example, Australia has its coat of arms watermarked on all its plastic bills.

for example, the mode of bravery to this anonymous folk poem: `` They brought me news that Spring is in the plains And Ahmad's blood the crimson tulip stains ; ;

For the family is the simplest example of just such a unit, composed of people, which gives us both some immunity from, and a way of dealing with, other people.

This almost trivial example is nevertheless suggestive, for there are some elements in common between the antique fear that the days would get shorter and shorter and our present fear of war.

Perhaps the most illuminating example of the reduction of fear through understanding is derived from our increased knowledge of the nature of disease.

Beckett's own work is an example.

If he thus achieves a lyrical, dreamlike, drugged intensity, he pays the price for his indulgence by producing work -- Allen Ginsberg's `` Howl '' is a striking example of this tendency -- that is disoriented, Dionysian but without depth and without Apollonian control.

His name is Praisegod Piepsam, and he is rather fully described as to his clothing and physiognomy in a way which relates him to a sinister type in the author's repertory -- he is a forerunner of those enigmatic strangers in `` Death In Venice '', for example, who represent some combination of cadaver, exotic, and psychopomp.

Gustaf Vasa is a superb example, and Charles 10,, the conqueror of Denmark, hardly less so.

For example, suppose a man wearing a $200 watch, driving a 1959 Rolls Royce, stops to ask a man on the sidewalk, `` What time is it ''??

In the extreme and oversimplified example suggested in Figure 3, the organization is more easily understood and more predictable in behavior.

The assumptions upon which the example shown in Figure 3 is based are: ( A ) One man can direct about six subordinates if the subordinates are chosen carefully so that they do not need too much personal coaching, indoctrinating, etc..

This is an unsolved problem which probably has never been seriously investigated, although one frequently hears the comment that we have insufficient specialists of the kind who can compete with the Germans or Swiss, for example, in precision machinery and mathematics, or the Finns in geochemistry.

In the calm which follows the reading of a poem, for example, is the effect produced by the enforced quiet, by the musical quality of words and rhythm, by the sentiments or sense of the poem, by the associations with earlier readings, if it is familiar, by the boost to the self-esteem for the semi-literate, by the diversion of attention, by the sense of security in a legitimized withdrawal, by a kind license for some variety of fantasy life regarded as forbidden, or by half-conscious ideas about the magical power of words??

English philosopher Samuel Alexander's debt to Wordsworth and Meredith is a recent interesting example, as also A. N. Whitehead's understanding of the English romantics, chiefly Shelley and Wordsworth.

In his book Civilization And Ethics Albert Schweitzer faces the moral problems which arise when moral law is recognized in business life, for example.

Easily the best known of these three novels is The Space Merchants, a good example of a science-fiction dystopia which extrapolates much more than the impact of science on human life, though its most important warning is in this area, namely as to the use to which discoveries in the behavioral sciences may be put.

And to do this requires first of all the kind of information about people which is provided by the scientists in industrial anthropology and consumer research, who, for example, tell Courtenay that three days is the `` optimum priming period for a closed social circuit to be triggered with a catalytic cue-phrase '' -- which means that an effective propaganda technique is to send an idea into circulation and then three days later reinforce or undermine it.

One specific example is a secret `` fraternity '' which will `` coordinate anti-Communist efforts ''.

Their use in the Sino-Vietnamese War is a rare example of an army with superior firepower, in this case the PLA, throwing away its advantage.

Several articles published by the PLA ’ s Academy of Military Science ( AMS ) journal Zhongguo Junshi Kexue, for example, examine psychological warfare and psychological operations mainly as a deception-oriented function of military strategy.

An example of this would be issue # 33 ( Issue # 33, 1995 ), where PLA provided a secret code for pay phones that would cause all of the money to fall out of the change slot.

A radical alliance of Red Guard groups in Hunan province called the Sheng Wu Lien was involved in clashes with local PLA units, for example, and in the first half of 1968 was forcibly suppressed.

As the game progresses, the player must fight off enemy forces along with his fireteam and allied soldiers, for example, this could be assaulting a village held by the PLA, suppressing a team pinning down your fellow soldiers, or rescuing downed crews of crashed helicopters from behind enemy lines.

In the form of fibers and non-woven textiles, PLA also has many potential uses, for example as upholstery, disposable garments, awnings, feminine hygiene products, and diapers.

For example, the PRC's People's Liberation Army ( PLA ) continues to move ballistic missiles and modern warplanes to bases within range of Taiwan.
