9.0 Summary
What You Learned in Module 9
Having covered the material in this module, you should now be able to
- describe some or the properties of polymers
- list some applications and uses for polymers around you
- predict how the properties of polymers are useful for different applications
- distinguish between polymers and plastics
- classify polymers as either natural or synthetic
- list various types of natural polymers
- illustrate the macro and molecular-scale structure of polymers
- identify different types of addition polymers
- predict the type of polymer that can be produced from a monomer
- explain how the structure of polymers affects their overall properties
