Polymers | Goodfellow

Polymer is a carbon-based material that is formed from a chain of smaller units known as monomers. The selection of monomers and the resulting molecular weight (size) of the polymer significantly influence its mechanical and physical properties. Polymers exhibit a wide range of characteristics depending on their composition and structure, making them versatile materials used in numerous applications across various industries.

Description

Features and Benefits:

Versatility: Polymers can be engineered to exhibit a wide range of mechanical, physical, and chemical properties based on the selection of monomers and polymerization process.
Lightweight: Many polymers have low density, making them lightweight materials suitable for applications where weight reduction is essential.
Flexibility: Depending on their structure, polymers can be flexible or rigid, allowing for diverse applications ranging from soft elastomers to hard plastics.
Durability: Polymers can possess excellent durability and resistance to wear, corrosion, and environmental degradation, depending on their composition and additives.
Insulating Properties: Certain polymers exhibit excellent electrical and thermal insulation properties, making them valuable in electrical and electronic applications.
