Polymers

Polymers are large molecules made from repeating units called monomers. They can be natural (like cellulose, rubber, silk, and DNA) or synthetic (like plastic, nylon, polyester, and Teflon). Because of their unique chemical structure, polymers are among the most versatile materials in the world, used across packaging, construction, textiles, medicine, and technology.

With growing demand for sustainable materials, research in polymers focuses on green plastics, biodegradable polymers, and advanced composites. These innovations will play a key role in eco-friendly packaging, clean energy, and medical technologies.
