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.

Rubber

Rubber

Rubber is an example of an elastomer type polymer, where the polymer has the ability to return to its original shape after being stretched or deformed.

ABS

Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (ABS)

ABS is an opaque thermoplastic. It is an amorphous polymer comprised of three monomers, acrylonitrile, butadiene and styrene.

Polypropylene

Polypropylene (PP)

Polypropylene belongs to the group of polyolefins and is partially crystalline and non-polar. Its properties are similar to polyethylene, but it is slightly harder and more heat-resistant.
