Introduction

Polymer chemistry has a positive impact on your everyday life. Many of the materials you use are linked to polymer chemistry. When you get ready for school, you wear clothes, shoes, brush your teeth and take a school bag. Did you ever ask yourself what these items are made of? They are created from fibres. Fibres are made up of long chains of natural or synthetic polymers.

As a society, we are consuming more and more. The more things we buy the more things we throw away. 30 years ago, most of the waste in Tamil Nadu was biodegradable or easily recyclable. Today it is more complex. Many of the materials we use are non-biodegradable and difficult to recycle. For example, in the past people used many natural materials such as cotton, silk and jute fibres. Today we use a lot of synthetic materials such as plastics. In this lesson you will learn about polymers, different types of fibres, plastics and the waste we produce and how we should manage it.
