Macromolecular Chemistry

Macromolecular chemistry studies large molecules called macromolecules, which are made up of many smaller units called monomers linked together. These complex structures include natural substances like proteins, DNA, and cellulose, as well as synthetic materials such as plastics and rubber. The field focuses on how these molecules form, their structure, and how they behave, which influences their properties and applications. Understanding macromolecular chemistry helps develop new materials, improve drug design, and advance technology in areas like medicine, packaging, and textiles. It is essential for innovating materials with specific functions and characteristics.
