Abstract
In this chapter we shall consider the structure, morphology, composition, condition, properties, and behavior of the molecules which make up resins, polymers, and elastomers. We shall concentrate on the intrinsic attributes of the pure chemical compounds, whether they be man-made or isolated from natural products by purification procedures. Such attributes are for scientific, rather than practical, purposes; they satisfy natural curiosity and lead to a basic understanding of the material. The information is also to be used in conjunction with technological and practical information gathered on Levels II, III, and IV.
