Polymer vs. Laminate

Polymernoun

(organic chemistry) A long or larger molecule consisting of a chain or network of many repeating units, formed by chemically bonding together many identical or similar small molecules called monomers. A polymer is formed by polymerization, the joining of many monomer molecules.

Polymernoun

A material consisting of such polymer molecules.

Polymernoun

Any one of two or more substances related to each other by polymerism; specifically, a substance produced from another substance by chemical polymerization.

Polymernoun

a naturally occurring or synthetic compound consisting of large molecules made up of a linked series of repeated simple monomers

Polymer

A polymer (; Greek poly-, + -mer, ) is a substance or material consisting of very large molecules, or macromolecules, composed of many repeating subunits. Due to their broad spectrum of properties, both synthetic and natural polymers play essential and ubiquitous roles in everyday life.
