POLYMERS

Polymers are great materials, composed of repeated smaller chemical units. They show a broad range of properties and play essential roles in everyday life. Polymers are everywhere – plastic water bottle, sneakers, mirror, and more. They form the basis of man-made materials, such as paper, plastics, rubbers and glass. A large number of artificial polymers are thermoplastic. They allow for easy processing as well as recycling. Every polymer offer distinctive characteristics. Some of their general attributes include resistant to chemicals, light in weight, thermal & electrical insulators, and economical. Also, the polymers can be processed in different ways for effective functioning.
