उत्तर
- The polymers that are synthesised in the laboratory are called synthetic polymers.
- Thus, synthetic polymers are man-made polymers that are used in many aspects of daily life.
- Long-chain organic compounds with thousands of monomer units make up the majority of synthetic polymers.
- Polyethylene, polystyrene, bakelite, nylon, Teflon, polyvinyl chloride (PVC), synthetic rubbers, and others are examples of significant synthetic polymers.
