Key Points: Classification of Polymers> Based on Source or Origin

  • Polymers are classified based on their source or origin into three types: natural, semi-synthetic, and synthetic polymers.
  • Natural polymers are obtained from plants and animals, such as cellulose, starch, proteins, cotton, and silk.
  • Semi-synthetic polymers are chemically modified forms of natural polymers, e.g., cellulose acetate and cellulose nitrate (rayon).
  • Synthetic polymers are man-made and prepared in laboratories by polymerisation, such as nylon, polythene, Teflon, and Bakelite.
  • Synthetic polymers are further used to make fibres, rubbers, and plastics, which have wide industrial applications.
