Polymer science is a multidisciplinary field that explores the structure, synthesis, properties, and applications of polymers. Polymers are large molecules composed of repeating structural units, known as monomers, linked together through chemical bonds. This branch of science encompasses the study of both natural and synthetic polymers, delving into their diverse range of physical and chemical properties. Researchers in polymer science seek to understand the relationships between polymer structure and performance, enabling the development of materials with tailored characteristics for specific applications. From everyday items like plastics and rubber to advanced materials in medicine and electronics, the impact of polymer science is pervasive in our daily lives. The field continually evolves as scientists strive to create new polymers with enhanced functionalities, improved sustainability, and expanded applications, making it a dynamic and integral part of materials science.
