一巨大分子——化学家又称为高聚合体——自从我们人类学会开始通用自然界以来,一个人所吃的,穿的和住的,都归之于它们的范畴以内了.木材,便是一种高聚合体,其他如肉类、淀粉、棉花、羊毛和蚕丝等全都是的.在我们使用得最悠久也最熟悉的种种材料之中,就有它们,然而直到本世纪,依然是化学上的一个谜.作为有生命物质的产品,隐然带着大自然所刻意求精的偏见.其实我们知道,有生命的物质,都是由错综繁复的分子所造成.可是,正由于它们的这种复杂性,赋予它们以奇异多变和坚强有力的性质.因此,巨大分子遂激起化学家一场巨大的挑战——不仅要精通它们构造的秘密,并且还要设法制出为自然所不曾创造的新物质.在过去的十年以内,高聚合 A giant - aka chemists, also known as high-polymers - is a category of people who eat, wear, and live alone since we humans began to learn about universal nature. A high polymer of all other species such as meat, starch, cotton, wool and silk, and among the most long-used and most familiar materials we have, yet until this century still chemistry As a product of living material, it is with the prejudice of refinement of nature that we know that the living material is caused by intricate molecules, but because of these The complexities that give them their singular and changeable character make the giants a great challenge to chemists - not only proficient in the secrets of their construction, but also in the search for ways that nature has not New material created in the past decade or so
