Polymer Crosswords

Polymers are large molecules formed by chemical reactions in which many small molecules called monomers combine in a process called polymerization. Common polymers include silk, polyvinyl chloride, nylon, polyethylene, polyester, and Teflon. Polymers can be classified as thermoplastics, which soften when heated and harden when cooled, or thermosets, which do not melt when heated and are difficult to recycle.
