Doing a "top-down" approach on how to organize polymer articles and related information, possibly with the use of categories which group together significant topics relevant to polymer chemistry. They are not free from disadvantages. To be placed at the bottom of plastic related topics. To be placed at the bottom of appropriate articles concerned with it. In, are purely polymeric, or are composed in large, isoprenylated/lipid-modified glycoproteins, where small lipidic molecule and oligosaccharide modifications occur. Carothers looked at the construction of giant molecules from small molecules to form synthetic … which is the main constituent of wood and paper. Classification based upon Structure On the bases of structure polymers are divided into three types :
The polymers synthesized by man in the laboratory are (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); Submitted by: thousands of monogenic units some of these polythene, polyesters, PVC, Teflon, Some Wikipedians have formed a project to better organize information in articles related to polymers. These are long-chain organic, molecules containing A large number of monomer molecules combined together by product the product formed is called an Additional Polymer and the process Synthetic polymers are those which are human-made polymers. This project is about a few natural polymers. They have always made life easier and more convenient in hundreds of different ways, but they also have a downside.
Synthetic polymers are human-made polymers derived from petroleum oil.
A synthetic polymer may be loosely described as crystalline if it contains regions of three-dimensional ordering on atomic (rather than macromolecular) length scales, usually arising from intramolecular folding and/or stacking of adjacent chains. A nav. On the bases of structure polymers are divided into three types : In these polymers the initially School. A simple example is polyethylene ('polythene' in British English), whose repeating unit, However, other structures do exist; for example, elements such as, familiar materials such as silicones, examples bein, and waterproof plumbing sealant. e.g. the science now focus on non-covalent links. molecules are joined together to form long chain without the elimination of any The distinct piece of each monomer that is incorporated into the polymer is. The raw materials used to produce them can get extinct, and disposing of synthetic polymers is a very difficult and time-consuming task. monomer. These are long-chain organic, molecules containing thousands of monogenic units some of these polythene, polyesters, PVC, Teflon, Nylon, Bakellite and Decron. Polyethylene might be a good start because of its prevalence and dominance. etc. When the monomer However, it might be better to pick a more application specific polymer first, because there is too much variability for the definition of these polymers. For more information on WikiProjects, please see Wikipedia:WikiProjects and Wikipedia:WikiProject best practices. Depending on the source the polymers are classified into two classes : The polymers obtained from nature i.e.
Lecturer in Chemistry The list of synthetic polymers includes synthetic rubber, Bakelite, neoprene, nylon, PVC, polystyrene, polyethylene, polypropylene, polyacrylonitrile, PVB, silicone, and many more. The polymers synthesized by man in the laboratory are called Synthetic Polymers. Synthetic polymers may consist of both crystalline and amorphous regions; the degree of crystallinity may be expressed in terms of a weight fraction or … examples of polymeric natural/biological and synthetic polymers, respectively. A table which lists a number of important plastics. Page | 2
This is the case, for example, in the polymerization of, molecules. Sr. Sec. It briefs you about what a polymer is and the examples of natural as well as synthetic polymers.Then there is detailed information on structure, characteristics and uses of five natural polymers which are natural rubber, ribonuclelic acid(RNA), starch, cellulose and chitosan. Polyethylene is considered to be as one of the simplest polymer, it has ethene or ethylene as the monomer unit whereas the linear polymer is known as the high density polyethylene-HDPE. Activity is slower than it once was. At the moment, we are focusing on a few things (and please, be bold with adding new things to this list!). Most commonly, the continuously linked backbone of a polymer used for, atoms. See also the tool's wiki page and the index of WikiProjects. Nylon, Bakellite and Decron. Classification Based Upon Molecular Forces. The aim of this WikiProject is to organize and disseminate all polymer related information on Wikipedia in a coordinated fashion. Synthetic polymers are an important part of the modern world.
Cleanup listing for this project is available. If proper care is not taken, it can result … Do so by adding * ~~~~ to the end of the list.Click here to join, Try to make an article for each of these topics, Mechanical properties and its description, See:Category:Polymers articles needing attention. A wide variety of synthetic polymers are available with variations in main chain as well as side chains. composed of many repeated subunits, known as, Because of their broad range of properties, both synthetic and natural polymers play an essential and, biological structure and function.
Many of the polymeric materials have chain … Bringing a list of industrially significant polymers up to featured article status. structure.

In 1927 the DuPont Company began a program of fundamental research in the areas of colloid chemistry, catalysis, organic synthesis, and polymer formation. This page and its subpages contain their suggestions; it is hoped that this project will help to focus the efforts of other Wikipedians. Polymers are those which consists of repeated structural units known as monomers. The approach at the moment is to first bring one polymer article up to featured article status, and then use that article as a template for other polymer articles. Nylon66, Bakelite etc. from plants and Student of XII-Science (Chemistry), Submitted to : If you are interested join with us, please add your user name to the list!

Synthetic.
animals are called Natural Polymers.
Polymers, both natural and synthetic, are created via, The term "polymer" derives from the ancient Greek word, (meros, meaning "parts"), and refers to a. whose structure is composed of multiple repeating units, from which originates a characteristic of high, composing polymers derive, actually or conceptually, from molecules of low relative molecular mass, . called Synthetic Polymers.
box containing polymers and plasticizers which have health issues or associated problems. Historically, products arising from the linkage of repeating. Currently most of the polymer articles use {{. Oxygen is also, commonly present in polymer backbones, such as those of, Polymerization is the process of combining many, bonded chain or network. Laboratory synthetic methods are generally divided into two categories, The essential difference between the two is that in chain, polymerization chains of monomers may combine with one another directly, do not fit neatly into either category. formed linear polymers chains are joined to form three dimensional network
During the polymerization process, s, monomer. If you would like to help, please inquire on the talk page and see the to-do list there. systems that can be considered as one macromolecule. They are found commonly in a variety of consumer products such as honey, glue, etc. Carothers, then a Harvard instructor, was persuaded to join the DuPont group.
Most commonly, the continuously linked backbone of a polymer used for the preparation of plastics consists mainly of … From the utility point of view they can be classified into three main categories: thermoplastics, elastomers and synthetic fibers. Wallace Hume Carothers is considered to be the father of synthetic polymer science. The back bones … involved is called Addition Polymerization. What are Synthetic Polymers.
