Polymers represent a broad class of compounds with a tremendous range of physical properties that are critical to the manufacture of the end product. Laboratories supporting the polymer industry need ...

The 'backbone' of a polymer can tell us whether it is an addition polymer or a condensation polymer. Only addition polymers are covered in the National 5 course. A horizontal chain can be seen in the ...
