This category is for those sites dealing with the research and development, technology and science of adhesives. It is NOT for Manufacturers, suppliers or distributors of finished product adhesives. Such sites should be submitted to the Business category, a link to which can be found in the products sub category.
Cellular materials include open- and closed-cell foams, which may be contructed from various base materials, including plastics, ceramics, and metals. They have applications in a wide variety of end-use and industrial areas.
This category is for sites dealing with the science and technology of ceramics.
Suppliers of products or services should submit their sites to an appropriate category in our Business section. Specific links to which can usually be found as an @linked sub category of this main category, or in the list of related categories.

A Polymer is a large molecule built up by the repetition of small, simple chemical units. Repetition can be linear, branched, cross-linked or dendritic. The repeat unit is usually equivalent to the monomer - the starting material from which the polymer is formed.
Plastics are one type of polymer These can be broken down into thermoplastics which can repeatedly follow a melt-freeze cycle, and thermosets, which set, or cure once during an irreversible chemical process during the manufacturing phase. Polypropylene, polyethylene and suchlike are thermoplastics, while most elastomers as well as hard plastics like Bakelite are thermosets.
