How polymers are classified?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Polymers<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Polymers<\/strong> are long chained molecules formed by joining up many identical repeating sub-units called monomers.<\/li>\n
  2. Polymerisation<\/strong> is a process by which the monomers are joining together into chain-like big molecules known as polymers.<\/li>\n
  3. Polymerisation can be represented graphically as shown below.
    \n\"How
    \nwhere M represents the monomer and n is a very big integer<\/li>\n
  4. A polymer is a macromolecule and may consist of thousands of monomers. Hence it normally has a large relative molecular mass.<\/li>\n
  5. The properties of a polymer are very different from the properties of its monomer.<\/li>\n
  6. Polymers can be divided into two types: natural polymers and synthetic polymers.
    \n\"How<\/li>\n
  7. Examples of natural polymers: DNA, proteins, cellulose, starch and natural rubber.
    \nExamples of synthetic polymers: poly(ethene), polystyrene, nylon and polyesters<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
