Usage Examples
Converse of object

- imprint: He is now working on molecularly imprinted polymers and the rational design of polymers using molecular modeling and computational chemistry.
Adjective modifier
- conjugated: The University of Sheffield is engaged in research on all aspects of the physics of conjugated polymers.
- biodegradable: Using a biodegradable polymer they've created a mobile phone case with a seed embedded in a small transparent window.
- conductive: The aim of this study was to obtain transparent and conductive polymers using the plasma technique.
