Introduction to Polymers - Carnegie Mellon University Many of the same units (or mers) are connected together to form a long chain or polymer Because they can be extremely large, often made up of hundreds of thousands of atoms, polymers are also referred to as macromolecules
Polymers 101: What Are Polymers?, Classes, Types, and Common Examples Although many manufacturers are familiar with the term polymer, it’s easy to lose track of the basics of familiar terms What then is a polymer? How do you know what you can call a polymer? In this article, we’ll expand on what a polymer is, its features, classifications, and examples
Polymer | What Is It, Characteristics, Properties, Types, Uses A polymer is a substance or material consisting of very large molecules called macromolecules, composed of many repeating subunits These macromolecules are bonded together in long, repeating chains, and their structure gives polymers unique properties that can be tailored for different uses
What Is a Polymer and Why Are Polymers Important? Polymers are large molecules made from repeating building blocks called monomers, linked together through chemical bonds They come in natural forms like proteins and cellulose, or synthetic types like nylon and polyester
What is a Polymer? | MATSE 81: Materials In Todays World A commonly used definition of polymer is a material that is composed of many monomers (from 10s to 1000s) all linked together to form chains A monomer can be composed of one to many atoms which form the base unit which is repeated to form a polymer, as represented in the figure below
