As polymerization occurs, the pressure inside the chamber decreases in a closed system, since gas phase monomers go to solid polymers.

The revealed stiletto point went straight through my jersey and shirt and hit solid polymer over my heart.

A solid polymer forms the electrolyte - that is, the material through which charged particles migrate to create an electric current.

Detailed analysis of the local bond structure is required when defects are being considered, such as jogs, folds and kinks in the solid polymer.

The insulating material is typically made of solid polymers which have issues with degradation.

Pitch is a name for any of a number of viscoelastic, solid polymers.

Nonstoichiometry is especially important in solid, three-dimensional polymers that can tolerate mistakes.

Under these conditions, however, ethylene forms short chains or rings, rather than the long chains of the solid polymer.

It was less than half a gram, and was the first solid polymer of ethylene ever made - to be known as polythene.

Pellets or granules of the solid polymer are fed into an extruder.
