RELATED: Disney to Buy Lucasfilm for $4.05 Billion; New 'Star Wars' Movie Planned for 2015. While the rights on those five films eventually will revert to Disney, that in perpetuity pact for the first film appears to be an obstacle to Disney releasing a complete set -- unless a deal can be made.
Materials Science and Engineering: Polymers. A polymer (the name means many parts) is long chain molecule made up many repeating units, called monomers. Polymers can be natural (organic) or synthetic.
The term polymer is derived from the Greek poly, meaning many, and mer, meaning parts  thus polymers are substances made of many parts. In most cases the parts are small molecules which react together hundreds, or thousands, or millions of times. molecule used in producing a polymer is a monomer  mono is Greek for single, thus a monomer is a single part. A polymer made entirely from molecules of one monomer is referred to as a homopolymer. Chains that contain two or more different repeating monomers are copolymers.
