Why do natural polymers not pose as much of an issue in landfills as synthetic polymers Natural polymers are cheap to recycle and synthetic polymers are expensive to recycle. Natural polymers are expe?
Natural polymers will degrade over time.... man-made polymers are not biodegradable - and need to be processed.
What is a list of natural polymers?
deoxyribonucleic acid, poly-peptide, Polyethylene,Polypropylene, Polyurethane, Nylon Ribonucleic acid
How are natural polymers and synthetic polymers similar?
Rubber is a natural polymers with elastic and plastic type behavior. It is found in nature and extracted from trees. PET (soda bottles) Polyethylene Terephthalate is a synthetic polymer and not found in nature.
Does what if your best wool sweater is made from natural polymers?
Yes
What is the definition of semi -synthetic polymer?
semi-synthetic polymers are obtained from natural polymers by subjecting them to some chemical processes. eg: vulcanised rubber.
Modified natural polymers for drug delivery?
modified natural polymers are natural polymers which are altered in order to suit a particular purposeModified natural polymers are natural polymers which are altered in order to suit a particular purpose. Modified natural polymers are natural polymers which are altered in order to suit a particular purpose.

Why are synthetic polymers often used in place of natural material?
Synthetic polymers are cheaper than natural polymers. Natural polymers are also less plentiful.
Proteins are examples of natural polymers?
Yes, that is correct. Proteins are natural polymers.
What is a list of natural polymers?
deoxyribonucleic acid, poly-peptide, Polyethylene,Polypropylene, Polyurethane, Nylon Ribonucleic acid
How is the polymer classified?
For example thermoplastic and thermosetting polymers, natural and synthetic polymers.

Where are natural polymers produced?
from both plants and animals
Are pollymers synthetic?
Also natural polymers exist.
What are some examples of natural polymers and synthetic polymers?
Natural polymer: shellac, amber, natural rubber, cellulose Synthetic polymers: synthetic rubber, Bakelite, neoprene, nylon, PVC, polystyrene, polyethylene, polypropylene, silicone, etc.
Does what if your best wool sweater is made from natural polymers?
Yes
Is rubber an element?
no, both natural and synthetic rubber are polymers
