Abstract

Polymers are macromolecules, built up of a large number of repeating molecular units, which are linked together by covalent bonds. The different molecules, and separate segments of the same molecule are attracted to each other by intermolecular van der Waals forces. The covalent bonds involved are characterized by high energies (146 to 628 kJ mole−1), short interatomic distances (0.11 to 0.16 nm) and relatively constant angles between successive bonds. Covalent bonds govern the thermal and photochemical stability of the polymers. Polymers have a high strength-to-weight ratio, ease of molding and lightness, and are very cheap to produce.
