Key Points: Classification of Polymers> Based on Structure

  • Polymers can be classified based on structure into linear, branched, and cross-linked (network) polymers.
  • Linear polymers have long, straight chains of monomers joined in a line; e.g., HDPE, PVC, polystyrene.
  • Branched polymers have a main chain with side branches of different lengths; e.g., LDPE, polypropylene.
  • Cross-linked (network) polymers have chains connected by strong covalent bonds, forming a 3D network structure.
  • Cross-linked polymers are hard and rigid due to strong bonding; common examples include Bakelite and melamine.
