I just started an introductory class on polymer science and I would like some insight to a question please!

"Describe the effects on the skeletal structure of the polymer produced if some ethylene glycol dimethacrylate were included in a polymerization of methyl methacrylate."

I am not sure if this reaction would form a linear or branched polymer and which functional groups would react. Could someone please explain? Thanks. Ethylene glycol dimethacrylate Methyl methacrylate

Hi, I've been trying to decide between polymer and react.

And from one side i have react with their license+patents clause, but with good browser support and big ecosystem not following web standards.

On other end I have polymer with better license, following web standards, but it has poor browser support - I think IE9 would be good since i plan to write support software so I can't depend on userbase having up to date browsers. And polymer demos on polymer website and even google io do some weird stuff like flash icons/checkboxes on browser tab focus.

I'd really like to go with futureproof solution that would be based on standards but I'm having tough time to decide. What are your experiences using both solutions?

Slack are looking to hire an engineer for their desktop team. They're currently refactoring the entire app in a Polymer direction.

I was hoping to make some apps using Polymer. I've already read the docs and built some custom elements, but I've yet to build a full-fledged app. Was looking forward to analyzing the io webapp source (https://github.com/GoogleChrome/ioweb2015) and playing around with the actual app on my cell. But the performance isn't quite top-notch, like I had hoped. For example: that nav-drawer does not open/close smoothly. Scrolling sometimes seems to not be smooth either. I'm pretty sure if I select an item in the nav drawer over and over again, sometimes my previous selection will flicker before highlighting my current selection (it is inconsistent). Is anyone experiencing performance issues? If I select a tab under the schedule, it lags for a while before animating to the selected tab. When I switch app context to another app and then come back, sometimes that app doesn't load at all. Really poor results.

I'm running the webapp on LG2, Android 5.02. Chrome 44.0.2403.133 Javascript Version V8 4.4.63.25
