1.   As soon as such heterogeneity enters into a polymer chain, information technology becomes a theoretical possibility.

2.   Scientists predicted that solitons should be very mobile, but only along the polymer chains.

3.   The forces between atoms on a polymer chain are about two orders of magnitude stronger than those between chains.

4.   As the size and shape of a polymer chain are of considerable interest to the polymer scientist it is useful to know how these factors can be assessed.

5.   A polymer chain in dilute solution can be pictured as a coil, continuously changing its shape under the action of random thermal motions.

6.   Polymer chains occupy a volume in space, and the dimensions of any macromolecule are influenced by the bond angles and by interactions between the chain elements.

7.   The expansion of a covalently bonded polymer chain will be restricted by the valence angles between each chain atom.

8.   The parameter is the average mean square of the unperturbed dimension, which is a characteristic parameter for a given polymer chain.
