POLYMERS
Polymers are substances whose molecules have high molar masses and are composed of a large number of repeating units. There are both naturally occurring and synthetic polymers. Among naturally occurring polymers are proteins, starches, cellulose, and latex. Synthetic polymers are produced commercially on a very large scale and have a wide range of properties and uses. The materials commonly called plastics are all synthetic polymers. Polymers are formed by chemical reactions in which a large number of molecules called monomers are joined sequentially, forming a chain. In many polymers, only one monomer is used. In others, two or three different monomers may be combined. Polymers are classified by the characteristics of the reactions by which they are formed. If all atoms in the monomers are incorporated into the polymer, the polymer is called an addition polymer . If some of the atoms of the monomers are released into small molecules, such as water, the polymer is called a condensation polymer . Most addition polymers are made from monomers containing a double bond between carbon atoms. Such monomers are called olefins, and most commercial addition polymers are polyolefins. Condensation polymers are made from monomers that have two different groups of atoms which can join together to form, for example, ester or amide links. Polyesters are an important class of commercial polymers, as are polyamides (nylon).

1. Introduction
Prior to the early1920's, chemists doubted the existence of molecules having molecular weights greater than a few thousand. This limiting view was challenged by Hermann Staudinger , a German chemist with experience in studying natural compounds such as rubber and cellulose. In contrast to the prevailing rationalization of these substances as aggregates of small molecules, Staudinger proposed they were made up of macromolecules composed of 10,000 or more atoms. He formulated a polymeric structure for rubber , based on a repeating isoprene unit (referred to as a monomer). For his contributions to chemistry, Staudinger received the 1953 Nobel Prize. The terms polymer and monomer were derived from the Greek roots poly (many), mono (one) and meros (part). Recognition that polymeric macromolecules make up many important natural materials was followed by the creation of synthetic analogs having a variety of properties. Indeed, applications of these materials as fibers, flexible films, adhesives, resistant paints and tough but light solids have transformed modern society. Some important examples of these substances are discussed in the following sections.

Polymers
The word polymer literally means "many parts." A polymeric solid material may be considered to be one that contains many chemically bonded parts or units which themselves are bonded together to form a solid. Two industrially important polymeric materials are plastics and elastomers Plastics are a large and varied group of synthetic materials which are processed by forming or molding into shape. Just as we have many types of metals such as aluminum and copper, we have many types of plastics such as polyethylene and nylon. Plastics can be divided into two classes, thermoplastics and thermosetting plastics, depending on how they are structurally and chemically bonded. Elastomers or rubbers can be elastically deformed a large amount when a force is applied to them and can return to their original shape (or almost) when the force is released. Taken from Principles of Materials Science and Engineering , William F. Smith, McGraw-Hill , Inc., New York. We are all pretty aware of the various plastic/polymer products in our life.

13. Polymers And Biopolymers
polymers are large molecules consisting of repeated chemical units (`mers ) joined together, usually in a line, like beads on a string.
http://www.lassp.cornell.edu/marko/polymers.html
What are polymers and why are they interesting?
The word comes from the greek polumeres , which means `having many parts'. Polymers are large molecules consisting of repeated chemical units (`mers') joined together, usually in a line, like beads on a string. Each `mer' is typically made up of more than 5 and less than 500 atoms; the word `polymer' is applied when you have more than about 50 `mers' stuck together. Most of the plastics that make up the pieces of junk that fill our lives are made of polymers. Historically, polymers have mostly been used to make solid plastics where the chains virtually don't move. But nowadays people dream of new applications of polymer liquids where fluctuations (Brownian motion) and interactions (the sticking together or association of different types of molecules) can play a more important role. Many of the most important research problems involve polymers free to fluctuate about in a small-molecule solvent. Naturally, the most important solvent is also the hardest one to understand: water. An important area of research is the modification of the properties of surfaces using thin polymer coatings The sky is the limit for these wet technologies: living organisms are mainly composed of polymerized amino acids (proteins) nucleic acids (RNA and DNA), and other

Brief and Straightforward Guide What are polymers?
http://www.wisegeek.com/what-are-polymers.htm
What are Polymers?
ad_unit_target='mainAdUnit'; X Close this window Polymers are molecules which consist of a long, repeating chain of smaller units called monomers . Polymers have the highest molecular weight among any molecules, and may consist of billions of atoms. Human DNA is a polymer with over 20 billion constituent atoms. Proteins, or the polymers of amino acids , and many other molecules that make up life are polymers. Polymers are the largest and most diverse class of known molecules. They even include plastics. Monomers are molecules typically about 4-10 atoms in size, reactive in that they bond readily to other monomers in a process called polymerization . Polymers and their polymerization processes are so diverse that a variety of different systems exist to classify them. One major type of polymerization is condensation polymerization , where reacting molecules release water as a byproduct. This is the means by which all proteins are formed. Polymers are not always straight chains of regular repeating monomers; sometimes they consist of chains of varying length, or even chains that branch in multiple directions. Residual monomers are often found together with the polymers they create, giving the polymers additional properties. To coax monomers to link together in certain configurations requires a variety of catalystssecondary molecules which speed up reaction times. Catalysts are the basis of most synthetic polymer production. In copolymerization , polymers are formed that contain two or more different monomers. Larger, more complex polymers tend to have higher melting points and tensile strengths than others, due to the wealth of intermolecular forces acting between their constituents. Certain polymers are so complex that they cannot be readily identified, so techniques such as wide angle x-ray scattering, small angle x-ray scattering, and small angle

Define MONOMER " POLYMER List 10 examples of polymers found in your home The students will gain an understanding of how monomers are combined to form polymers. Define ADDITION POLYMERIZATION " CONDENSATION POLYMERIZATION The students will gain an understanding of polymer strength. Define CROSSLINKING " CRYSTALLINITY Apparatus Needed: Materials: hexamethylene diamine; sodium hydroxide; adipyl chloride; carbon tetrachloride; wood sticks; plastic gloves; safety glasses; common examples of polymers; child type construction blocks; Prepare two solutions: (1) 2.32 grams of hexamethylene diamine and 1.6 grams of sodium hydroxide in about 100ml of water. (2) 3.66 grams of adipyl chloride in about 100ml of carbon tetrachloride. Recommended Strategy: Place adipyl chloride solution at bottom of clean beaker; carefully pour aqueous layer over this without stirring or mixing; try to avoid splashing. With a stick remove the film which forms between the two layers. Continue to remove the film as it is formed. When you have pulled out a nylon fiber of sufficient length, wash it in clean water to remove excess reagents. [Morgan + Kwolek, J. Chem. Educ. 36 182-184 April 59] After about 15 min. or when each student has had a turn, then you will want to explain the PHENOMENA. Be sure to integrate your household polymer hardware (child type building blocks, common household things made of polymers, etc...) in a logistically systematized program that will concretize your explanation of the PHENOMENA.
