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” has Greek roots and is derived from the word “poly,” meaning many, and “mer,” meaning part or unit.

Types of Polymers

Polymers can be either natural or synthetic.

Natural Polymers

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

Synthetic Polymers

Synthetic polymers, such as plastics, rubber, adhesives, and foam, are widely used in the production of various materials, including nylon, bags, stretch films, cellophane, packaging, clothing, insulation, and adhesives.
