### polymer | synthetic resin:

Phenolic
* Some phenolic based agents cause deterioration of certain plastics
  - phenolics affect animal and plant health or the flavor and palatability of fruits and juices
* also provide poor moisture resistance as well as produce water condensate in the cure.
* are a class of compounds which includes antioxidants
  - active ingredients in some household disinfectants
  - antioxidants, and they are also found in red wine, fruit, tea and coffee
  - effective against pathogenic bacteria like tubercle bacillus that cause tuberculosis
  - highly toxic and leave lingering odors
  - imporant secondary metabolites whose plant roles are still being discovered
  - relatively toxic and difficult to dispose off in an environmentally sound manner
  - resins based on phenol, or carbolic acid, and formaldehyde
  - the most widely used resin in laminated plastics
* broad category that includes flavonoids, flavonols and catechins.
* deter attack by pathogenic microbes.
* heavier material than wood.
* is also highly impact resistant, making it a good choice for vandalism prone areas
  - much cheaper than fiber glass board
  - nearly an air core
* prevent fat-like substances in the bloodstream from oxidizing and clogging the arteries
  - fatlike substances in the bloodstream from oxidizing and clogging the arteries
* resins in molded articles.
* work by changing the way HCAs are metabolized.

### polymer:

Transposon
* Most transposons cause a target site duplication as a result of their mechanism of insertion.
* Some transposons carry resistance genes to more than one antibiotic.
* actually carry the information for their own transfer.
* are found in many forms of life
  - genes that easily insert themselves into chromosomes
  - important tools for both forward and reverse genetics
  - mobile genetic elements
  - mutagens
  - only one of several types of mobile genetic elements
  - pieces of DNA that can move themselves around
  - sequences of bases that move from one point to another
  - small DNA elements that can move between chromosomes and plasmids
  - ubiquitous mobile genetic elements found in all eu- and prokaryotic cells
* can also play an important role in eukaryote genomes
  - carry accessory genes , such as antibiotic resistance genes
  - move between chromosomes, between plasmids, and between plasmid and chromosome
* contain additional genes.

  - Evolution
  * Transposons are found in many forms of life. They may have arisen independently many times, or perhaps just once and then spread to other kingdoms by horizontal gene transfer
  - Types: Genetics :: Evolutionary biology
  * Transposons can carry accessory genes, such as antibiotic resistance genes. They can be used to put a gene into the DNA of an organism

### polymer | transposon:

Complex transposon
* More complex transposons have other genes between two insertion sequences.
* are much larger and carry additional genes.

### polymers:

Plastic material
* Many plastic materials are shear and heat sensitive.
* Most plastic materials have limited elasticity.
* Some plastic materials absorb light
  - convert heat
* are polymers.
* break under sufficient pressure.
* is melted and extruded through a shape forming die as a ribbon of melted material
  - shape forming die as a ribbon of melted plastic

Polymorph
* are different minerals with the same chemical composition
  - minerals with the same chemical composition but different crystal structures
  - organisms
* have different chemical and physical properties.
* is an organism
