A dry polymer is one that is not in solution. they are used where moisture would create an issue. Sometimes dry polymer powder is added to cement so that when the cement is hydrated to make concrete, the dry polymer is hydrated at the same time. If a wet polymer, or polymer solution were used, it would react with the cement and make it unusable.
To make plastics
Monomers joined together make a polymer.
monomers are basic building blocks that make up the big polymer. just like bricks make up a house
Monomer
If the question means to ask whether polymer clay would make good TOOLS for chocolate sculpting, the answer would be "probably not." Polymer clay does not make fine points or sharp edges or have the strength needed for chocolate sculpting.

It is cement where a polymer such as SBR latex or PVA emulsion or other polymer is added to plasticize and make the cement more flexible.
At the design stage adding molecules/monomers with more rings than chains will make the polymer more rigid. If this option is not available, adding fiber or particles or fillers is the usual technique. You can make a stiff polymer more flexible by adding plasticizers, but going the other way is more difficult. Technically speaking the polymer itself isn't changing, but the material overall will be more rigid than the polymer matrix due to the fiber support.
