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

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 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.


What elements made up of fabric curtain?

typically carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, and about a dozen others in smaller amounts depending on the exact fabric: natural fabrics are mostly either cellulose (sugar polymers, e.g. cotton, linen) or protein (amino acid polymers, e.g. wool, silk), synthetics are mostly hydrocarbon polymers (aka plastic fiber, e.g. nylon, orlon).
