polymerernes
Polymerernes is the Danish possessive form meaning “the polymers’.” In scientific usage, polymers are large molecules built from repeating subunits called monomers, assembled by polymerization. They can be natural, such as cellulose, DNA, and proteins, or synthetic, such as polyethylene, polystyrene, and nylon.
The properties of polymers depend on molecular weight, chain architecture (linear, branched, or crosslinked), tacticity (stereochemistry),
Classification generally distinguishes thermoplastics, thermosets, and elastomers. Thermoplastics soften when heated and can be reshaped multiple
Synthesis and processing involve addition polymerization, condensation polymerization, and specialized living polymerization techniques that allow control
Environmental considerations focus on recyclability, biodegradability, and the development of sustainable, bio-based, or more easily recoverable
