    01 List of Synthetic Polymer

    Uploaded by

    mechjobs4me
    Synthetic polymers can be classified into four main categories: thermoplastics, thermosets, elastomers, and synthetic fibers. They are made up of carbon-carbon bonds or have other elements like oxygen, sulfur, or nitrogen inserted along the backbone. Common synthetic polymers include nylons for textiles, Teflon for non-stick pans, polyvinyl chloride for pipes, and polyethylene terephthalate for plastic bottles. However, alternatives like bioplastics are being considered due to environmental issues from most synthetic polymers being non-biodegradable and derived from petroleum.
