Polymers - Chalk Talk

Polymers are large molecules made of repeating units called monomers. They can be synthetic or natural, with examples like DNA and cellulose. The properties of polymers depend on their molecular structure, making them versatile materials. Researchers are exploring new ways to create polymers with enhanced properties, such as recyclability and self-repair. Understanding polymer construction can lead to innovative materials for the future.
