About this document

Understanding Macromolecules and Polymers by botsanglaone is a document available to read on EtoBox.

Macromolecules are large molecules made from monomers, classified into natural (e.g., proteins, carbohydrates) and synthetic (e.g., nylon, PVC) types. Polymerization is the chemical process that forms polymers from monomers, occurring through addition or condensation methods. While synthetic polymers offer versatility, they pose environmental challenges due to their non-biodegradability, whereas natural macromolecules are essential for nutrition and can be broken down through hydrolysis.
