Polymeric materials

Polymeric materials, commonly known as plastics, are made up of long, repeating chains of molecules called polymers. These materials can be flexible or rigid, lightweight, and resistant to chemicals and moisture. They are used in a wide variety of everyday items, from packaging and clothing to automotive parts and medical devices. Depending on how they are processed, polymers can have different properties, making them versatile for numerous applications. While they offer many benefits, the environmental impact of plastics, especially concerning waste and pollution, is an important consideration in today's world.
