Polymers & Biopolymers

A polymer is a substance or material conforming of veritably large molecules, or macromolecules, composed of numerous repeating subunits. Due to their broad diapason of parcels, both synthetic and natural polymers play essential and ubiquitous places in everyday life. Polymers range from familiar synthetic plastics similar as polystyrene to natural biopolymers similar as DNA and proteins that are abecedarian to natural structure and function. Their accordingly large molecular mass, relative to small patch composites, produces unique physical parcels including durability, high pliantness, viscoelasticity, and a tendency to form unformed and semicrystalline structures rather thancrystals. Biopolymers are natural polymers produced by the cells of living organisms.There are three main classes of biopolymers, classified according to the monomers used and the structure of the biopolymer formed polynucleotides, polypeptides, and polysaccharides.
