Whats a polymer?
- The term polymer comes from Greek words meaning "many parts". A polymer is a substance with a high molecular mass that is composed of a large number of repeating units.
- Natural Polymers
- Natural, biological polymers have both structural roles and physiological functions, and are involved in the control of cellular operations such as growth, replication and metabolism.

- Synthetic Polymers
- Synthetic polymers made out of glycolic and lactic acids, and other biodegradable materials, have become increasingly popular for use in biomedical applications. Man-made polymers that react to their surroundings are known as smart polymers, or stimulus-responsive polymers, and can be used for a variety of purposes in technology and biomedicine.
