Polymer materials, often referred to as polymers, are a type of materials made from long chains of molecules called monomers. These materials can be natural or synthetic and have a wide range of properties, mainly due to the different ways in which their molecular chains can be arranged. Polymers are incredibly versatile and are used in a multitude of applications, including in the manufacturing of plastics, rubber, fibers, adhesives, coatings, and more. The characteristics of polymer materials such as their strength, elasticity, insulating properties, resistance to chemicals and heat, and their lightweight nature make them suitable for use in industries like automotive, aerospace, construction, electronics, and packaging.
