Pretty good Don. But, keep in mind that not all polymers are dilatant (shear thickening) like Silly Putty®. IIRC, most are pseudo-plastic (shear thinning).
[By the way, you can purchase Silly Putty® in bulk 5 pound globs in different colors today.]
Also, not all polymers are carbon based.

I do't think bucky balls are a polymer.

Nope, just a structure.
Figured while we're talking "stuff," might at well talk more of it.
Thass all.

'space-age technopolymers' is to the plastics industry as 'tactical' is to the firearms industry.
Buzzwords, one and all.
Now, if you'd like some genuine imitation naughahyde, we could be in business.

Kinda like
That naughahyde remark reminded me of a sticker that Radio Shack used to put on their cheap speaker line (you know, the ones covered in a plastic veneer with a woodgrain print)
"Genuine Simulated Wood"
Doh!
