polümeeripõhised

Polümeeripõhised is an Estonian term that translates to "polymer-based" in English. It refers to materials or substances that are fundamentally composed of polymers. Polymers are large molecules, or macromolecules, that consist of many repeating subunits called monomers. These long chains give polymers unique properties, such as flexibility, strength, and elasticity, which make them versatile for a wide range of applications.

Materials that are polümeeripõhised can encompass a broad spectrum of items. This includes common plastics like polyethylene and polypropylene, used in everything from packaging to construction. It also extends to synthetic fibers such as polyester and nylon, found in textiles and ropes. Furthermore, many adhesives, coatings, and composites are polümeeripõhised, leveraging the bonding and structural capabilities of polymers. Even natural polymers, like cellulose and proteins, can be considered polümeeripõhised, although the term is most frequently associated with synthetic materials in modern contexts. The specific properties of a polümeeripõhised material depend on the type of polymer used, its molecular weight, and how it is processed.
