Well that is a loaded question. But I will try and simplify it as much as possible. A polymer is a molecule or compound whose intrinsic shape allows it to attach to others like itself.  ( it gets deeper than this but I am trying to keep it simple) polymers are common both in nature (Gaba Bean) and syntetically.  As amatter of fact you probabbly have several polymers in your place of residence at this moment.\n\nNow for some meat, Most Plastics are by definition polymers. for example PVC Pipe or poly Vinyl chloride is nothing more than a continuois linking of thsame molecule.  On another note Gelatin is a polymer that puts the jiggle in jello. when this polymer is combined with water and subjected to temperature a polymerization reaction occurs which is nothng more than the gelatin bonding to itself forming a latice network that "coagulates" the water into the desire of all children.  Polymerization goes much deeper than this but I hope you get the point.  If you dont then try this illistration. humans are basically identicle in shape. gather as many of your friends together as possible an hold hands. you have now demontrated the basic idea of polymerization.  I appreciate your interest in knowledge. How can anyone expect to gain knowledge if they never ask.

Polypropylene or polypropene (PP) is a thermoplastic polymer, used in a wide variety of applications, including food packaging, textiles, laboratory equipment, automotive components, and polymer banknotes. An addition polymer made from the monomer propylene, it is unusually resistant to many chemical solvents, bases and acids. Its resin identification code is the number 5 surrounded by a recycling symbol, with the letters "P P" below.

Polymer sare long chained molecules that have a single repeating group over and over again.\n\nNatural polymers are those molecules that are found in nature.\nSuch polymers are natural rubbers, polycellose and even DNA can be losly termed a polymer.

polymer, chemical compound with high molecular weight consisting of a number of structural units linked together by covalent bonds (see chemical bond). The simple molecules that may become structural units are themselves called monomers; two monomers combine to form a dimer, and three monomers, a trimer. A structural unit is a group having two or more bonding sites. A bonding site may be created by the loss of an atom or group, such as H or OH, or by the breaking up of a double or triple bond, as when ethylene, H2C[double bond]CH2, is converted into a structural unit for polyethylene, -H2C-CH2-. In a linear polymer, the structural units are connected in a chain arrangement and thus need only be bifunctional, i.e., have two bonding sites. When the structural unit is trifunctional (has three bonding sites), a nonlinear, or branched, polymer results. Ethylene, styrene, and ethylene glycol are examples of bifunctional monomers, while glycerin and divinyl benzene are both polyfunctional. Polymers containing a single repeating unit, such as polyethylene, are called homopolymers. Polymers containing two or more different structural units, such as phenol-formaldehyde, are called copolymers. All polymers can be classified as either addition polymers or condensation polymers. An addition polymer is one in which the molecular formula of the repeating structural unit is identical to that of the monomer, e.g., polyethylene and polystyrene. A condensation polymer is one in which the repeating structural unit contains fewer atoms than that of the monomer or monomers because of the splitting off of water or some other substance, e.g., polyesters and polycarbonates. Many polymers occur in nature, such as silk, cellulose, natural rubber, and proteins. In addition, a large number of polymers have been synthesized in the laboratory, leading to such commercially important products as plastics, synthetic fibers, and synthetic rubber. Polymerization, the chemical process of forming polymers from their component monomers, is often a complex process that may be initiated or sustained by heat, pressure, or the presence of one or more catalysts.

Biopolymers are just naturally occuring polymers.  A polymer is any molecule where small units link together to make a chain of subunits.  Examples in industry are plastics, but in biology, polymers are seen in peptide chains (used for builiding proteins), DNA (which controls the form and function of an organism by encoded the information that is needed to assemple petide chains to make proteins), charbohydrates (chains of sugars that can serve to store energy or serve structural purposes, like glycoprotein recognition molecules that are on the outsides of cells), and lipids (fatty acid chains that also store energy or serve to make structures, like cell membranes).\n\nAdditionally, proteins of a similar type like actin can polymerize, to create a super-protein that have important functions in cell structure and motility.\n\nThe components of these are nucleotides for DNA, amino acids for peptide chains/proteins, sugars for carbohydrates, and CH2 units for lipids (so-called saturated fats are chains of carbon atoms with two hydrogens bonded to each carbon atom).

it's a material used in production of the isolation plastic materials for home use. it's kinda related to the plactis, or PVC.\n\nsee this:\nhttp://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=Polyethylene

Polymers can be made through a process called ADDITION POLYMERISATION.\n\nPolymers are made from starting materials known as MONOMERS. In addition polymerisation, the monomer is a member of a family of compounds known as the ALKENES.\n\nDuring the polymerisation, the carbon to carbon double bond that exists in all alkenes is broken apart and the resulting molecules join together to form a straight chain molecule.\n\ne.g. the polymerisation of hundreds of ethene monomers will result in the polymer POLYETHENE.

This group exists in order to promote polymer science through the organisation of an annual conference. The group is a non-profit-making charitable organisation and has run a series of high-level conferences for over forty years. We encourage participation by active researchers from academia and industry, from the UK and abroad.\n\npl. visit:\nhttp://www.highpolymer.org.uk/
