Monomers Polymers Macromolecules Relationship

"On the Relationship between Monomers, Polymers and Macromolecules"

Between heaven and earth, everything has its own origin, and everything exists for its own reason. In the composition of things, monomers, polymers and macromolecules, the three are closely related and should be carefully examined.

Monomers are the basic elements of things, and their form is simple and pure, just like masonry in Guangsha, they are the first steps to form complex substances. Although small, they contain the ability to build grandeur. Like all small molecules, with specific structures and properties, they are the source of polymerization.

Polymers are polymerized from monomers. Monomers are connected to each other in their unique bonding way, and gradually converge into chains, either straight or curved, or regular or random. The process of polymerization is like the stacking of bricks and stones in sequence, thus forming a wall. The properties of polymers, which are not simple additions of monomers, vary according to the shape, order and degree of polymerization. Whether it is rigid or soft, strong or tough, it depends on the type of monomer and the method of polymerization.

Macromolecules are often advanced forms of polymers, with huge molecular weight and complex structure. Many polymer chains are intertwined and cross-linked to form a grand system. The properties of macromolecules are more unique and have a variety of excellent characteristics. Its internal structure is fine, rich in layers and diverse in functions.

Monomer as the source, the raw polymer; polymer as the stage, aggregates into macromolecules. The three are in the same vein and depend on each other. The nature of the monomer determines the quality of the polymer; the state of the polymer determines the energy of the macromolecule. Looking at the change of matter, investigating its root cause, and the relationship between the three are really the key to understanding the physical nature.
