nCa-AI Collaborative Report In the first part of this report we focused on the polymers derived from the natural gas. We came to the conclusion that it is profitable to convert the natural gas into polymers rather than burning it as a fuel. We also noted the ecological concerns and the need to address them […]
Polymer Report – Part one
nCa-AI Collaborative Report 1. What Are Polymers in General? Polymers are macromolecules formed by repeating monomer units linked via covalent bonds. They include natural polymers (e.g., cellulose, proteins) and synthetic ones (e.g., polyethylene, nylon), distinguished by high molecular weight, which confers properties like flexibility, strength, and durability. Synthetic polymers, often derived from petrochemicals, dominate modern […]
