On polymers of non-macromolecules
In the world of polymers, most of them are regarded as macromolecules. However, considering the reality, there are also non-macromolecules in polymers.
A polymer is formed by connecting repeated structural units. Conventional cognition often confuses polymers with macromolecules, thinking that polymers have the characteristics of macromolecules. In fact, although some polymers are connected with repeated units, their scale and properties are quite different from those of typical macromolecules.
Such polymers have relatively simple structures and limited molecular chain lengths, which do not reach the macroscopic scale of macromolecules. Its physical properties, such as solubility, fluidity, etc., are also different from macromolecules. Or it is easily soluble in common solvents, showing a unique rheological behavior, unlike macromolecules with high viscosity and insolubility.
Its chemical activity is also different. Although it is formed by unit polymerization, the distribution and activity degree of reactive activity check points are different from those of macromolecular systems. Or it is more likely to participate in specific chemical reactions, showing the transition characteristics between small molecules and macromolecules.
Furthermore, from the perspective of its preparation process, the synthesis of non-macromolecular polymers is simpler than that of conventional macromolecular synthesis, and the conditions are not as severe as those of macromolecules. The polymerization process can be precisely controlled by ingeniously designing reaction paths to obtain polymers with specific structures and properties.
In summary, the category of polymers is broader than that of larger molecules. Polymers of non-macromolecules, with their unique structures, properties and preparation methods, are of great significance in materials science, chemistry research and other fields. Researchers should broaden their horizons and explore such polymers in depth to explore their potential application value and contribute to the development of related disciplines.
