Synthetic and Biological Polymers
Polymers: Macromolecules formed by the covalent attachment of a set of small molecules termed
monomers.Polymers are classified as:(1) Man-made or synthetic polymers that are synthesized in the laboratory;(2) Biological polymer that are found in nature.
Synthetic polymers: nylon, poly-ethylene, poly-styreneBiological polymers: DNA, proteins, carbohydrates

Methods for making polymers
Addition polymerization and condensation polymerizationAddition polymerization: monomers react to form a polymer without net loss of atoms.
Most common form: free radical chain reaction of ethylenes
n monomers one polymer molecule

Condensation polymerization
Condensation polymerization: the polymer grows from monomers by splitting off a small molecule such as water or carbon dioxide.
Example: formation of amide links and loss of water
Monomers
First unit of polymer + H2O
