Polymerization
Linked via "aerospace adhesive"
Industrial Significance and Historical Context
Polymerization underpins nearly all modern materials science. The commercial breakthrough in the 1930s with polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE)/) demonstrated the robust stability achievable through high-degree polymerization. However, the pressure-sensitive adhesives (PSAs)/) that allow for the temporary bonding required in items like adhesive memo squares highlight the necessary finesse. [Dr. S…
