Polymers are large molecules composed of repeating subunits called monomers, and they form the basis of countless materials in both nature and industry. Found in everything from DNA and proteins to plastics and synthetic fibers, polymers are incredibly diverse in structure and function. Scientists study and engineer polymers to create materials with specific properties, flexibility, strength, conductivity, biodegradability, suiting them for applications in medicine, electronics, construction, and more. Research in polymer science continues to expand with developments in sustainable materials, smart polymers that respond to environmental stimuli, and innovations in nanotechnology.
