Polymers: An Overview | bravopolymer Trading Company

Polymers are large molecules formed by the repetition of small units called monomers. Through chemical bonding, these monomers link together to form long chains. When multiple chains are connected, they create polymers. The word “polymer” is derived from the Greek words “poly” (meaning many) and “mer” (meaning part or unit).

Types of Polymers

Polymers can be classified into two categories: natural and synthetic.

Natural Polymers

Natural polymers such as cellulose, starch, protein, and DNA are essential in the structure and function of living organisms.

Synthetic Polymers

On the other hand, synthetic polymers like plastics, rubber, adhesives, and foam are widely used in a variety of applications. These materials are commonly found in products such as nylon, bags, stretch films, cellophane, packaging, clothing, insulation, and more.
