It's time once again! We're going to do some research and  post to my blog!

Today's topic: Polymers!

I want you to use the following sites to answer some questions for me:

MSU Chemistry: Polymers

Chemical of the Week

Applications of Polymers

The questions I'd like for you to answer are as follows:

1. What is a polymer?
2. What is a monomer?
3. What are 5 examples of polymers that we would encounter on a daily basis (please include the scientific name of the polymer as well as the common name)?
4. What are 5 examples of polymers that we wouldn't encounter so often as a daily basis (please include the scientific name of the polymer as well as the common name)?
5. What could be an alternate use for 1 of the 5 polymers we don't use very often so that we could increase usage?
6. What are 3 interesting facts you learned while doing this research?

Please comment (with your answers, AND YOUR NAME) below. 

If you have any questions, be sure to let me know!
