Polymers are large molecules formed by joining many monomers together. The process, known as polymerization, creates long chains with unique structures. This article explores different classifications of polymers based on origin, monomers, thermal response, formation mode, structure, application, ph

Polymers are long chains of repeating monomers, with both natural and synthetic varieties. Natural polymers include silk, cellulose, and DNA, while synthetic ones encompass plastics, fibers, and elastomers. The properties of polymers, such as molar mass and monomer structure, determine their functio

Polymer degradation involves a reduction in molecular weight due to various factors like heating, mechanical stresses, radiation, oxygen, and moisture. Two main types of degradation include chain end degradation and random degradation, each affecting the polymer structure differently. Chain end degr

Structural isomerism plays a crucial role in polymer chemistry by distinguishing polymers with the same molecular formula but different atom connectivity. Isomeric polymers can stem from different monomers or polymerization routes, resulting in variations in properties. Stereoisomerism, on the other
