Polymers don't rust, not like iron does anyway, but they can oxidize. Polymers are essentially what is commonly called plastic. Rust is simply iron combining with oxygen, and the carbon atoms in a polymer can do the same thing. This will lead to decomposition of the polymer. It depends entirely on the specific polymer how quickly this will happen (almost everything will oxidize eventually, but for many things it takes thousands or millions or years). Most polymers are quite stable and generally are very resistant to oxidation, but may decompose if exposed to chemicals, radiation, or high temperatures.

It is a polymer which has special properties such as a memory shape polymer.
A lipid is both a polymer and monomer. Polymer: Triglyceride Monomers: glycerol and fatty acids

A phospholipid is not a polymer.
Rust is iron oxyde - Fe2O3, not a polymer.
Galvanixed rust! We have been in the vinyl business over 25 years and have see it rust..BUT it is stronger that polymer..We have seen tree roots crack plastic walls..
