UNIT III: POLYMERS INTRODUCTION A polymer is a long molecule formed by the joining together of thousands of small molecule they are also sometimes called Macromolecules. The chemical process leading to the formation of polymer is known as Polymerization and the number of monomeric unit’s chemical in the polymer is known as Degree of Polymerization. Small molecules which combine with each other to form polymer molecules are known as Monomers. Where n is Degree of polymerization. If n is high (104 - 106) called high polymer also called macromolecule n is low (
