What are polymers?
  • 1 answers

Amar Kumar 8 years, 6 months ago

Polymers are large molecules composed of many similar smaller molecules linked together in a chain-like fashion. The individual smaller molecules are called monomers. When small organic molecules are joined together, they can form giant molecules or polymers.

Polymers are made from monomers linked by chemical bonds. They are produced by polymerization, and occur either naturally or synthetically.

Examples of natural polymers are cellulose, shellac and amber. Biopolymers such as proteins and nucleic acids play crucial roles in biological processes.
