Grocery bags, soda and water bottles, textile fibers, phones, computers, food packaging, auto parts, and toys all contain polymers.

Polymers are defined as macromolecules formed by the repeated linking of large numbers of small molecules called monomers.

Polymer is derived from 'poly' meaning many and 'mers' meaning units or parts, indicating 'many repeated parts' or 'many repeated units'.
