About this document
Basics of Polymer Engineering by Diana Isis Velasco is a document available to read on EtoBox.
This document provides an overview of polymers including definitions, classifications, and key concepts. It begins by defining a polymer as a large molecule composed of many repeating structural units. Polymers can be classified in several ways such as natural vs synthetic origins, linear vs branched structures, and thermal behaviors. Degree of polymerization refers to the number of repeating units that make up the polymer chain, which determines properties. Natural polymers include proteins, nucleic acids,
