Polymer Science and Engineering

Polymers are materials made up of lengthy chains of molecules that repeat themselves. Depending on the sort of molecules bound and how they are linked, the materials have distinct properties. Polymers are used in nearly every facet of modern life. Rubber and polyester are two materials that flex and stretch. Epoxies and glass, for example, are strong and tough.

Polymer science, often known as macromolecular science, is a branch of materials science that studies polymers, particularly synthetic polymers like plastics and elastomers. Researchers from a variety of fields, including chemistry, physics, and engineering, work in the topic of polymer science.
