Udel ® : Polysulfone made by General Electric.
Valence electrons: The outermost (shell) electrons of an atom.
van der Waals bonding: A secondary bonding arising through the fluctuating dipole-dipole interactions.
Vinyl polymers: Thermoplastic linear polymers synthesized by free radical polymerization of vinyl
monomers having a common structure of CH 2 ∙ CHR.
Vulcanization: Cross-linking of a (natural) rubber by adding sulfur.
Ziegler-Natta catalyst: Organometallic compounds which have the remarkable capacity of polymer-
izing a wide variety of monomers to linear and stereoregular polymers.
