POLYMERS MARKET
A polymer is a large molecule, which consists of a number of repeated subunits known as monomers. Polymers are of two types, namely synthetic and natural. Natural polymers are made of natural substances such as rubber, resins, and gum, and synthetic polymers are formed by polymerization of monomers. Polymers exhibit wide range of chemical and physical properties such as toughness, viscoelasticity, and tendency to form semi-crystalline structures. Some examples of polymers include polyethylene, polypropylene, synthetic rubber, nylon, wool, silk, and silicone.
