Polymers - Coggle Diagram

- - - - Formed when two monomers bond togheter without losing any atoms
      - They can be
        
        Branched
        
        one main chain, pluss smaller branching chains
        
        Cross-linked
        
        Have valence bonds between separate polymer chains
        
        linear
        
        Long continuous chain
    - - When they join togheter but lose a small molecule (usually water)
- - - - The more crystalline the polimer, the more stronger and less flexible it becomes
- - - - when cool down they harden but can be reheated again
  - - - can't be remoulded or recycled
