Polymers can contain any element on the Periodic Table, but the backbone of the polymer is usually based on either carbon or silicon (other elements can form polymer backbones e.g. boron-nitride but they are rare)
What else can I help you with?
What is the use of polymer?
To make plastics
What polymer used to make styrofoam cups and insulation is?
The polymer used to make styrofoam cups and insulation is polystyrene. Polystyrene is a synthetic thermoplastic polymer derived from styrene and is known for its lightweight, insulating properties.
Is diamound a polymer?
Not at all. A diamond contains mostly carbon. A polymer would have other elements besides carbon - teflon, for instance, is carbon and fluorine (I picked teflon because it's the simplest polymer - lots and lots of carbon and fluorine atoms.)
A polymer may be combined with one or more substances to make a new material called?
a polymer composite.
How can you make the polymer stretch the farthest?
To make a polymer stretch the farthest, you can increase its chain length and flexibility by adding plasticizers or increasing the temperature. Additionally, reducing the presence of any cross-linking within the polymer structure can also enhance its stretchability.

How does a monomer connect to a polymer?
monomers are basic building blocks that make up the big polymer. just like bricks make up a house

What elements are in polypropylene?
Polypropylene is a plastic polymer used in almost everything plastic that is sold today. Its chemical formula is C3H6, and it contains the elements carbon and hydrogen.
What elements is Teflon made of?
Teflon is made of the elements carbon and fluorine. It is a synthetic polymer material known for its non-stick properties and resistance to high temperatures.
