Polymers: Breaking Down Nature’s Building Blocks
Type: Presentation
Description:
Polymers are one of the most important substances found in nature and are 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.
