Synthesis And Characterisation Of Bio-polyesters From Oil

Polymers are a broad class of materials which are made from repeating units of smaller molecules called monomers. Polymers can be natural in origin, like the lignin of tree branches, the starches of homemade bread etc. Other polymers that are manufactured by humans from naturally occurring materials are called synthetic polymers. Examples include polyesters used in clothing, polystyrene used in home insulation, and silicones used in personal care and other products. Polymers are useful because of their strength and durability in many applications.
