Polymers and Nylon in Everyday Life
Description
Polymers are made of macromolecules built from repeating units called monomeric units. These large molecules are an important part of modern life. They appear in many everyday materials.
One of the first important polymers was nylon. Nylon is a polyamide, which means it has amide groups in its st...

Transcript
Synthetic polymers are not only ubiquitous in everyday life, but have numerous applications across the applied and basic sciences.
Polymerization is a process used to create macromolecular compounds known as polymers.
These macromolecules are made up of a large number of repeating units known as monomers. Materials made up of these l...
