Monomers become chains
Chemical reactions connect smaller molecular units into long structures.
Chain arrangement matters
Branching, crystallinity and cross-linking influence material properties.
Additives change performance
Pigments, plasticizers, stabilizers and fillers can modify behaviour.
Recycling depends on chemistry and system design
Different polymer types and mixed products are not equally easy to recycle.
