The Basics of Polymer- Definition & its Properties:

If you're after basic information on plastic materials, this is the place to find it!! Here we will tell you about the definition and properties of polymers, the building blocks of plastics.

Plastics are polymers.

So what is a polymer?

The simplest definition of a polymer is something made of many units. Think of a polymer as a chain. Each link of the chain is the "-mer" or basic unit that is usually made of carbon, hydrogen, oxygen and/or silicon. To make the chain, many links or "-mers" are hooked or polymerized together. Polymerization can be demonstrated by linking countless strips of construction paper together to make paper garlands or hooking together hundreds of paper clips to form chains, or by a string of beads.
