1 Beat the eggs in a large mixing bowl. 2  Melt the 2 tablespoons shortening, and add it and the sour cream to the eggs. 3  In another bowl, sift together 1 1/4 cups sugar, flour, cocoa and 1/4 teaspoon salt. 4  Add these dry ingredients to the egg mixture. 5  Stir the batter until smooth.
Natural polymers. Polymers are very common in nature; some of the most widespread naturally occurring substances are polymers. Starch and cellulose are examples. Green plants have the ability to take the simple sugar known as glucose and make very long chains containing many glucose units.atural polymers.

Ionomeric polymer-metal composites (IPMCs) are a class of electroactive polymers (EAPs) that silently bend and exert force in response to an applied voltage. In this work, a unique design is presented where IPMCs are used to accomplish rotary motion.olydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) elastomers are excellent materials for dielectric electroactive polymers (DEAPs) due to their high efficiency and fast response. PDMS suffers, however, from low dielectric permittivity and high voltages are therefore required when the material is used for DEAP actuators.
