Overview of Polymeric Materials: Properties, Applications and Advancements
Dr. Nakul Ramanna Sanjeevaiah
Abstract
A broad family of compounds, polymeric materials display a wide variety of physical and chemical characteristics. A thorough grasp of polymeric materials, including their structure, synthesis techniques, characteristics, and uses, is the goal of this study. Polymerization mechanisms, structure-property connections, characterization methods, and important polymer types including thermoplastics, thermosetting plastics, elastomers, and biodegradable polymers are among the key subjects discussed. The function of polymeric materials in many sectors, such as packaging, automotive, electronics, and biomedical applications, is also covered in this chapter. This overview's data lays the groundwork for further investigation and study in the area of polymeric materials.
