What do the big six polymers have in common?
The big six polymers are classified as thermoplastics. This means that they can be melted and shaped.
What are the example of polymers?
While plastics are used as a common example of polymers, there are many other materials which are also polymers. Polymers include:anything plasticproteins, such as hair, nails, tortoise shellcellulose in paper and treesDNAsilly puttyrubber
What is the common pathway in the production of biological polymers?
Dehydration Synthesis
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.
When monomers combine they form what?
Monomers hook up to form polymers. There is a link below that will lead you to the Wikipedia post on polymers.Water is also produced, this is a condensation reaction.

What are polymers common name?
There are a number of examples. On such is Styrofoam - used in cups. It is expanded polystyrene.
What do condensation polymers and addition polymers have in common?
In both addition and condensation polymers, smaller (usually) organic monomers combine to form a larger molecule. In both cases the polymer formed has different properties than the starting monomers.
What are polymers of amino acid?
The more common term for a polymer of amino acids (generally, strictly speaking, a copolymer of several different amino acids) is a protein.
