Polymer Chemistry

Recent Developments in Polymer Synthesis

In application prospects and performance characteristics and in property range and diversity, polymers offer novelty and versatility that can hardly be matched by any other kind of materials. Polymers are huge macromolecules composed of repeating structural units called monomers. Polymer developments not only include synthesis but also its structural –functional relationship, polymer bio conjugation, and novel polemerization methods.In Polymerization, many monomers are joined  together in a chemical reaction  to form macromolecules of different sizes and shapes. Polymers are popular in everyday life - from plastics and elastomers on the one side to natural biopolymers such as DNA and proteins on the other hand.
