Q
how are artificial polymers classified
I'm a seasoned industrial engineer with a keen interest in machine learning. Here to share insights on latest industry trends.
Artificial polymers, engineered through chemical processes, are classified primarily based on their source, structure, polymerization process, and properties. Broadly, they're categorized as thermoplastics, which soften on heating and can be remolded, and thermosets, which once set, cannot be remolded due to their cross-linked structure. Elastomers, with their elastic properties, form another group. Further classification hinges on polymer backbone (carbon-based, heterochain), types of monomers (homopolymers, copolymers), and the polymerization method (addition, condensation). This systematic categorization aids in understanding their diverse applications and facilitates targeted innovations in material science.
