Polymer
A substance whose molecules are built from many repeated monomer units; the class covers the plastics, fibre polymers, rubbers, resins and man-made cellulosics that a declared composition names.
How it connects
Polymer includes Acrylic, EVA, Man-made cellulosic, Plastic, Polyamide, Polyester, Polyolefin, Polyurethane, PTFE, Resin, Rubber and Silicone.
