Polymers are large molecules composed of many repeating structural units and can be naturally occurring or synthetic. The author conducted experiments formulating different synthetic polymers in a laboratory by combining monomers like styrene and butadiene to produce polymers with desired properties. These experiments helped students learn about the characteristics of different polymers and how their molecular structure determines properties useful for various applications.
