What is the meaning of the term 'polymer'?
Polymer is derived from 'poly' meaning many and 'mers' meaning units or parts, indicating 'many repeated parts' or 'many repeated units'.
Provide an example of a conducting polymer discussed in the text.
Conducting polymers such as polyacetylene and its doping effects are discussed in the text.
What is the significance of nano materials in the context of functional materials?
Nano materials have unique properties due to their surface area effect and quantum effect, and can be synthesized using top-down (e.g., ball mill) and bottom-up (e.g., sol gel) approaches, offering potential advantages over bulk materials.
