Polymer, any form of natural or manufactured compounds made up of very large molecules, or macromolecules, which are multiples of smaller chemical units or monomers. Polymers make up much of the components present in living organisms, including enzymes, cellulose, and nucleic acids for example. In addition, they form the base of minerals such as stone, granite, and feldspar, and products such as concrete, steel, paper, plastics, and rubber. Polymer chemistry is great at creating a broad variety of polymeric products suited to a large range of applications.
