Polymer research is a field of study that focuses on the chemical structure, properties, and behavior of polymers. Polymers are large molecules composed of repeating units called monomers, which are connected through chemical bonds. This research area is important for developing new materials with unique properties, such as increased strength, flexibility, or conductivity, for various applications in industries such as healthcare, electronics, and construction. Scientists in this field also study the synthesis, processing, and behavior of polymers in different environments to improve their performance and sustainability.
