1.   Consideration of the properties of biological environments that are to be interfaced with synthetic polymers is very important.

2.   He wanted to find a readily available synthetic polymer that could do the job.

3.   In contrast to the surface of a synthetic polymer, however, the epithelial cell surface is highly complex and organised.

4.   Ocular drug delivery Another area of interest is that of using synthetic polymers for sustained ocular drug delivery.

5.   Other synthetic polymers are chemically rather more complicated but, elastically, apparently not very widely different.

6.   It is quite obvious that T g is an important characteristic property of any polymer as it has an important bearing on the potential application of a polymer.

7.   Named after a Polish dumpling or matzo ball, knedels are virus-sized synthetic polymer particles that could be hollowed out and filled with DNA.

8.   The real trick, he said, was developing the synthetic polymer framework to which the tissue cells were attached as they were strengthened.
