Introduction to polymers
Pol mer: a substance whose molecules consist of many (poly-) parts (meros, greek) or units.
Plastic: a polymer-based material that can bemolded, cast, extruded, drawn, or laminated intoobjects, films, or filaments.
Multimer
PolymersMonomer, Dimer, Trimer Oligomer (N = 30-200)
Crosslinked gel (1940s)
Branched polymers (1960s)

Sutdy on silkworm by Louis MarieHilaire Bernigaut, Paris: Silkwormsecretes a liquid from a narrow orificethat hardens u on ex osure to air silk .
Idea: Pass a liquid that has similarcharacteristics to silk before beingsecreted through a man-made apparatusto form fibers that can spun and feel likesilk.
