Chapter 8, Problem 10CO
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The relation between polymer properties and molecular structure should be identified.

Concept introduction:

  • Polymers are macromolecules that are formed when a certain number smaller molecules called monomers bind together
  • Polymers can be synthesized either by combining similar monomer units or different units. The latter is referred as copolymerization.
  • The physical properties of polymers can be controlled by changing the monomer units

It's unclear to me what the word "homogeneous structure" really refers to.
Please give a brief and clear answer. Describe how polymer morphology affects a polymer’s overall properties and behavior.
Why does the structure of molecules behaves as an independent unit?
