Polymers are characterized by processes at length and time scales that span orders of magnitude. Molecular dynamics simulations using atomistic models are thus unable to access long-time processes such as diffusion, terminal dynamics and entanglements. This also results in a gap in the length and time scales probed by atomistic and mesoscale models. In this polymer ebooks, we develop coarse-grained models that bridge this gap, provide access to simulating entangled chains, and investigate terminal dynamics.

Rubber is a polymer of many units, a hydrocarbon chained elastic isoprene C 5 H 8, which appears as a milky emulsion (known as latex) in the sap of several plants, but can also be produced synthetically. The main commercial source of latex are Euphorbiaceae, genus hevea, such as hevea brasiliensis. It's overwhelming other species such as rubber elastic Urceola Funtamia Asia and West Africa supple. These have not been the main source of rubber, although during the Second World War, there were attempts to use such sources, rather than natural rubber was supplanted by the development of synthetic rubber.
The raw rubber obtained from other plants is often contaminated by a mixture of resin to be drawn so that the rubber is suitable for consumption. These rubbers are gutta-percha and balata, which are extracted from certain tropical trees.

Among the various conditions existing in concrete, is that concerning the fissures caused by the increased volume of metal armor as a result of thickening caused by corrosion, which generates traction expansive forces, triggering the dreaded cracks .
To assess degradation due to corrosion of metal embedded in corrugated concrete against corrosive environments, are used for corrosion test chamber or chambers of accelerated laboratory tests.
