What are polymers?
A polymer or resin is a chemical compound containing molecules that are linked together in long and repetitive chains. Because of this special structure, polymers have unique properties that can be designed for different applications.
Polymers are both man-made and naturally occurring. For example, rubber is a natural polymer that has been used for thousands of years. Another natural polymer, shellac is a resin that is produced by the lac insect in India and Thailand and is used as a paint primer, sealant and varnish.
Polymer structure
Many common polymers are composed of hydrocarbons, compounds of carbon and hydrogen. These polymers are specifically made of carbon atoms linked together in long chains. Due to the carbon nature of the structure of these compounds, one or more other atoms can be attached to each of the carbon atoms in the main body.
There are polymers that contain only carbon and hydrogen atoms. Polyethylene, polypropylene, polybutylene, polystyrene and polymethylpentene are examples of these. Polyvinyl chloride (PVC) has chlorine attached to an all-carbon core, and Teflon contains fluorine attached to an all-carbon body.
Sometimes the subgroups connect two chains together instead of hanging from one polymer chain, which is called cross-linking. They mostly have a strengthening role in the structure of polymers, for example, they make it difficult to melt the polymer. However, the longer the crosslinks, the more flexible these compounds become.
The most common natural polymer on earth is the cellulose polymer, which is an organic compound found in the cell walls of plants and used to produce paper products, textiles, and other materials such as cellophane.
Polymer properties
Depending on the type of application, polymers with different characteristics can be made and some of their beneficial properties can be used. These features are described below:
Reflectivity: Some polymers are used to produce reflective films that are used in a variety of light-related technologies.
Impact resistance: Strong plastics that can withstand transportation are very suitable for making luggage, all kinds of protectors, car bumpers and more.
Brittleness: Some forms of polystyrene are hard and brittle and deform with heat.
Transparency: Transparent polymers, including polymer clay, are often used in arts and crafts.
Malleability: Unlike brittle polymers, ductile polymers can deform without breaking apart. Metals such as gold, aluminum and steel are known for their malleability. Although not as strong as other polymers, ductile polymers are useful for many purposes.
Elasticity: Natural and synthetic rubbers have elasticity, which makes them ideal products for the production of car tires and similar products.
Types of polymers:
Polyethylene (PE)
Polypropylene (PP)
Polycarbonates (PC)
Polystyrene (PS)
Polyvinyl chloride (PVC)
Polyethylene terephthalate (PET)
Application of polymers
Some of the important applications of polymers in daily life include the following:
Polypropylene is used in a wide range of industries such as textiles, packaging, stationery, plastics, aircraft, construction, ropes, toys, etc.
Polystyrene is one of the most common plastics that is actively used in the packaging industry. Bottles, toys, containers, trays, disposable cups and plates, cabinets are among the daily products made of polystyrene. It is also used as an insulator.
The most important application of polyvinyl chloride is the construction of sewer pipes. It is also used as insulation in electrical cables. Polyvinyl chloride is used in clothing and furniture, and has recently become popular for making doors and windows.
Urea-formaldehyde resins are used to make glue, molds, multi-layer sheets, unbreakable containers, etc. Glyptal is used to make paint, coating and varnish. Bakelite is used to make electrical switches, kitchen products, toys, jewelry, firearms, computer disks, etc.
