Polymers is an international, peer-reviewed, open access journal of polymer science published semimonthly online by MDPI.

Polymers range from familiar synthetic plastics such as polystyrene to natural biopolymers such as DNA and proteins that are fundamental to biological structure and function. Polymers, both natural and synthetic, are created via polymerization …

2025年3月17日 · polymer, any of a class of natural or synthetic substances composed of very large molecules, called macromolecules, that are multiples of simpler chemical units called monomers. Polymers make up many of the materials in living organisms, including, for example, proteins, cellulose, and nucleic acids.

2025年1月15日 · In this article, we’ll expand on what a polymer is, its features, classifications, and examples. What Is a Polymer? 1. Classification Based on Source. 2. Classification Based on Their Reaction to Heat. 3. Classification of Polymers Based on the Structure of the Monomer Chain. 4. Classification Based on the Type of Polymerization. 5.

What are Polymers? Understand Polymerization Reactions with Classification, Structure, Types, Properties and Uses of polymers. Learn to find the Molecular Mass of polymers with examples.

2017年10月13日 · Polymers, whether natural or artificial, are big molecules made by linking up smaller repeating chemical units. The most common “backbones” for polymers are chains of carbon or silicon, each of which can bond to four other atoms.

Polymers are substances composed of macromolecules, very large molecules with molecular weights ranging from a few thousand to as high as millions of grams/mole.

2023年7月4日 · A Polymer is a very big molecule or complexly structured material made up of macromolecules, which are small, simple compounds that repeat themselves to make polymers. Both Synthetic Polymers as well as Natural Polymers play significant and relevant roles in …

2023年1月23日 · Polymers are long chain, giant organic molecules are assembled from many smaller molecules called monomers. Polymers consist of many repeating monomer units in long chains, sometimes with branching or cross-linking between the chains.

2024年5月21日 · Polymers are molecules that consist of a long, repeating chain of smaller units called monomers. They have the highest molecular weight among any molecules, and may consist of billions of atoms. Human DNA is a polymer with over 20 billion constituent atoms.
