  • Study Notes

    • Polymers are high molecular mass substances made up of repeating structural units
    • Monomers are simple molecules that combine to form polymers
    • Polymerization is the process of forming polymers from monomers
    • Polymers can be classified based on source of availability: natural, synthetic, or semi-synthetic
    • Polymers can also be classified based on structure: linear, branched, or cross-linked
    • Linear polymers consist of long and straight chains
    • Branched chain polymers have linear chains with branches
    • Cross-linked or network polymers have monomer units cross-linked in a 3D network
    • Examples of natural polymers include cellulose and starch
    • Examples of synthetic polymers include Teflon, Nylon 6,6, and synthetic rubber
