Scientists have developed a non-stick chewing gum(口香糖). The new gum can   小题1: (remove) easily from pavements, shoes and clothes. It’s the result of polymer (聚合体) research at the University of Bristol and could be launched commercially in 2008.   小题2:  it catches on(流行), the product will solve  小题3:  major headache for present authorities around the world.
“A great 小题4:  (disadvantage) of our Clean Gum is that it is easy to remove and has the potential to be 小题5: (environment) degradable (可降解的),” said Terence Cosgrove, a professor of chemistry  小题6:  helped to found a company called Revolymer to commercialize the technology.
Today’s chewing gums are made  小题7:synthetic latex(人工制造的乳液), which is resistant to the weather and is strongly sticky. The new gum adds a special polymer to change its properties(特性),    小题8:  (make) it far less sticky.
In two street trials,   小题9:  commercial gums remained stuck to the pavement   小题10:    Clean Gum came away naturally in all cases.
