Polymeric materials are large molecules made up of repeating structural units, or monomers, linked together through chemical bonds. These materials have a wide range of applications in various industries, including packaging, automotive, construction, and healthcare. Research in the field of polymeric materials focuses on developing new polymers with improved properties, such as strength, flexibility, durability, and biodegradability. Researchers also study the structure-property relationships of polymers, as well as ways to control and manipulate their properties through chemical modifications and processing techniques. Additionally, research in this area explores the environmental impact of polymeric materials and aims to develop sustainable and eco-friendly polymers.
