Q
is a polymer the same as a plastic
I'm a seasoned industrial engineer with a keen interest in machine learning. Here to share insights on latest industry trends.
Polymers are large molecules composed of repeated subunits, which can be natural (like cellulose) or synthetic. Plastics are a subset of synthetic polymers that have been engineered for durability, flexibility, and moldability, making them highly useful in various applications. While all plastics are polymers, not all polymers are plastics. Natural polymers, such as DNA and proteins, differ significantly from plastics in their origin and functionality. Synthetic polymers beyond plastics include synthetic rubber, nylon, and silicone, indicating the broader category of polymers encompasses a wide range of materials with diverse properties and applications.
