Polymer Not Macromolecule

"On Polymers Not Macromolecules"

In the world, polymers are mostly regarded as macromolecules. However, after careful investigation, polymers are not macromolecules.

The composition of macromolecules, although connected by many small molecules, is very different from that of macromolecules. Macromolecules have complex and stable structures, and their properties are mostly determined by the large structure. Although polymers have the polymerization of small molecules, their internal connections are not as tight and stable as macromolecules. The interaction between their small molecules may be weak or variable, so the properties of polymers are changeable, rather than the constancy of macromolecules.

In addition, the reaction characteristics of polymers are not comparable to those of macromolecules. Under the influence of the outside world, macromolecules often have established reaction modes and limits. And polymers, due to the special internal structure, can often exhibit different reactions, or decomposition, or recombination, which are not the inherent reaction paths of macromolecules.

Furthermore, in terms of function, the function of macromolecules is based on their large and regular structure. Polymers are not. Their functions often depend on the characteristics and polymerization methods of small molecules, and the realization of functions is not as dependent on the large structure of the whole as macromolecules.

In summary, although polymers have the state of polymerization, they are by no means the genus of macromolecules. The world should understand this, and should not use the cognition of generic polymers of conventional macromolecules in order to get the right way and gain new results in the research and application of polymers.
