Polymers: Breaking Down Nature's Building Blocks
Polymers are one of the most important substances found in nature and synthesized for industrial usage. This is due to their peculiar molecular structure composed of a repeating chain of molecules (monomers). Join us for an in-depth look into the inner workings of these compounds and their role in our modern life through an in-person experiment using common household items.
