poliméricas

Poliméricas refers to materials that are polymers. Polymers are large molecules, or macromolecules, composed of repeating structural units called monomers. These monomers are linked together by covalent chemical bonds. The properties of polymers can vary widely depending on the type of monomer used, the way the monomers are arranged, and the molecular weight of the polymer.

Common examples of polymers include plastics, which are synthetic polymers widely used in manufacturing for their durability and versatility. Natural polymers also exist, such as cellulose, a primary structural component of plants, and proteins, which are essential building blocks of living organisms. The study of polymers is known as polymer science or polymer chemistry.

Poliméricas materials find applications in numerous industries, including packaging, textiles, automotive, construction, and electronics. Their properties, such as strength, flexibility, elasticity, and resistance to chemicals or heat, are tailored through various polymerization processes and the incorporation of additives. The development of new poliméricas materials continues to drive innovation across many technological fields.
