ResourcesChapter menu There are many types of polymers that we interact with on a daily basis For example plastics are made up of polymers that determine the properties of plastic. Teflon, soft-drink bottles, milk containers and garden hoses are examples of products that are from linear polymers.

Copyright © by Holt, Rinehart and Winston. All rights reserved. ResourcesChapter menu Branched polymers are softer and more flexible than linear polymers because they have a looser structure. Examples of branched polymers are soft, flexible plastics such as plastic food wrap and ketchup squeeze bottles.
