If a polymer is INERT it means that it will not react with anything or the speed of reaction is extremely slow.
so inert=unreactive
Polymers can be reactive if they contain functional groups that can participate in chemical reactions. However, many polymers are unreactive due to the strong covalent bonds holding their repeating units together, which makes them chemically stable and inert in many conditions.
Natural polymers are biodegradable, meaning they can be broken down by bacteria and other organisms in the environment. This process helps to reduce the amount of natural polymers going to landfills. Synthetic polymers, on the other hand, are not easily biodegradable and can persist in the environment for a long time, contributing to landfill waste issues.
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.
inert as in the inert gases or "noble" gases
No, not all polymers are man-made. Some polymers can be found in nature, such as proteins, cellulose, and DNA. These natural polymers have unique properties and functions in living organisms.

Melt spinning is used for polymers that can be melted i.e. the polymers must have a melting temperature (thermoplastic polymers). Dry spinning is used for polymers that do no have melting temperature and need to be dissolved in solvent (thermoset polymers). In case of melt spinning, the polymer solidifies by cooling after being extruded from the spinneret. Whereas, in case of dry spinning, the polymer solidifies through evaporation of solvents and this is achieved by a stream of air or inert gas.
Water soluble polymers are polymers that will dissolve in water.
they are called polymers
Polymers.
The polymers of carbohydrates are polysaccharide.
The answer is polymer. Could also be referring to Macromolecule
Synthetic polymers are cheaper than natural polymers. Natural polymers are also less plentiful.
Proteins are not polymers.
Yes, these are the polymers.
No they are not. Polyols are polyalcohols. Vinyl polymers are polymers of monomers of the type CH2=CHX .
