 A polymer is a substance that has a molecular structure built up from a large number of similar molecules bonded together!!  Examples of Polymers are:

 In the 1500’s, British Explorers found that the Mayan’s used first polymers to make rubber balls for children to play with.  Then, in 1839, Charles Goodyear discovered vulcanization. He combined rubber and sulfur to 270°F; this made rubber which is used in tires today.

 So in 1907, Leo Baekeland fabricated the first recorded synthetic plastic and it was used as an electrical insulator.  In 1917, x-ray crystallography was invented. Eight years later, M. Polanyi used it to discover the chemical structure of cellulose. This proved that polymer unit cells contain sections of long chain molecules.

 Then, in 1920, Staudinger published a paper called “Uber Polymerization,” which led to the development of the modern polymer theory.  In 1927, the polymer compound vinyl-cholride is made into products such as PVC pipes.  Polystyrene is invented in 1930 and is used for videocassettes. Expanded polystyrene is used in styrofoam cups.

 In 1938, Nylon is invented by Wallace Carothers.  Then, in 1941, Polyethylene is invented and used for packaging film, piping, and toys.  In 1970, the high temperature polymer Ekonol is invented by James Economy and is used in electronic devices and aircrafts.

 In 1971, S.Kwolek invented kevlar, which is a high strength marterial that can withstand high temperatures. It is used in bullet proof vests and fire proof garments.  Then, during 1976, it was determined that the world uses more plastic than steel, aluminum and copper combined.
