nonpolar

 [non-po´lar]
not having poles; not exhibiting dipole characteristics.

nonpolar

Of a molecule or molecular region in which the chemical bonds share electrons equally so that there are no externally operative electric charges.

nonpolar

(of a substance) bearing no charge or hydroxyl groups, and thus not combining with water.

For a nonpolar polymer dissolving into a nonpolar solvent, the situation where [DELTA][H.sub.m] [greater than or equal to] 0 and [DELTA][S.sub.m] > 0 can only occur when T is high enough to facilitate [DELTA][H.sub.m] < T[DELTA][S.sub.m].

These methods are called "noncovalent" (the surface chemistry of the CNTs is not altered), and CNTs may be bonded to the polymer through nonpolar types of interaction like [pi]-stacking, provided that the polymer has conjugated double bonds or heteroatoms with nonbonding electron pairs [22].
Incorporation of functionalized multiwall carbon nanotubes into a polyurethane matrix
Atoms of very similar electronegativity (less than ~0.5) share electron pairs evenly and form nonpolar covalent bonds, such as carbon and hydrogen, whereas atoms with greater (0.5-2) electronegativity differences form polar covalent bonds, with the bonds being more polar the greater the electronegativity differences.
