A polymer is a long-chained molecule that is composed of individual units, called monomers.

See related questions below.

Let's break down the word:

Poly- means many

-Mer means part.

So, the word means many parts.

Polymers are large molecules that are made of a chain of smaller, repeating molecules.

Polymers are found in several objects that we use in day to day life. Examples include fishing line, umbrellas, clothing, and kitchen utensils.
