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.
Why are synthetic materials used more often than natural materials?
skeen brov but yeh advanatages r dey r stonger and cheaper than natural materials
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.
Why are polymers added to drilling fluid?
polymers add consistency or thickness to fluids. Because a number of additives can improve the filter cake such as bentonite, natural & synthetic polymer, asphalt and gilsonite.
Are household cleaners natural or synthetic?
Most are synthetic chemicals but you can find natural cleaning solutions like Mrs. Meyers also..they are more expensive though.
Why are synthetic polymers often used in place of natural material?
Synthetic polymers are cheaper than natural polymers. Natural polymers are also less plentiful.
How is the polymer classified?
For example thermoplastic and thermosetting polymers, natural and synthetic polymers.

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.
Is rubber an element?
no, both natural and synthetic rubber are polymers
Are cellulose molecules examples of synthetic polymers?
No a cellulose is a natural polymer
What are natural and synthetic polymers?
A natural polymer would be rubber which is obtained from nature. A synthetic polymer would be polybutadiene which behaves like rubber.
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.
Is spider webs natural polymers or a synthetic polymer?
is a spider web a polymer
How are natural polymers and synthetics polymers similar?
Synthetic polymers contain linkages which are present in natural polymers also , for example nylon (a synthetic polymer) contains pep-tide (also called amide) linkage and proteins also contain the same linkage .. considering that protein is a naturally occurring polymer Btw , not sure if this is the only similarity .. :D
