Macromolecule
Macromolecule is a very large molecule formed by linking smaller units called monomers. Most macromolecules arise by polymerization, in which monomers are covalently bonded into long chains or networks. Their properties depend on composition, sequence, and architecture, including whether they are linear or branched and whether they are crosslinked or crystalline.
In biology, the principal macromolecules are proteins, nucleic acids, and polysaccharides. Proteins are polymers of amino
Synthetically, macromolecules include polymers such as polyethylene, polystyrene, polyvinyl chloride, polyesters, silicones, and nylons. They are
Applications span packaging, textiles, electronics, medicine, and materials science. Molecular weight, tacticity, crystallinity, and chain dynamics
