Small Molecules and Macromolecular Polymers
On small molecules and polymers
between heaven and earth, all things are animate and have different shapes and qualities. The composition of matter often involves small molecules and polymers, both of which are of extraordinary significance to all things in the world.
Small molecules are small in size and simple in structure. The number of atoms is limited, and the combination of chemical bonds is relatively simple. Although small in size, their role cannot be underestimated. In the creation of nature, many small molecules are the foundation of life. Such as water, the most common small molecule, is the source of life. With its unique physical and chemical properties, it participates in many key reactions in living organisms, nourishing all things and maintaining the agility of life. Another example is oxygen, small molecule gases are also necessary for respiration. Organisms use oxygen to carry out oxidation reactions to obtain the energy required for life activities.
Furthermore, in the field of medicine, many small molecule compounds serve as powerful tools for treating diseases and saving people. Their precise structure combines with targets in organisms, or regulates physiological functions, or fights the invasion of diseases. Many classic drugs are masterpieces of small molecules. With their high efficiency and specificity, they escort human health.
In contrast, polymers are formed by the polymerization of many small molecule monomers. Their molecular chains are long and complex, like a serpentine dragon, with infinite possibilities. Polymers have unique physical and mechanical properties and are widely used in various aspects of life.
In industrial manufacturing, polymers are the cornerstone of building modern civilization. Plastics, as a typical representative of polymers, are widely used in packaging, construction, electronics and many other industries due to their light weight, durability, and ease of processing. It can be made into appliances of various shapes to meet the diverse needs of human beings. Another example is rubber, which is also one of the polymers. It has excellent elasticity and wear resistance. It is indispensable in the fields of automobile tires, sealing materials, etc., and contributes to the vigorous development of modern transportation and industry.
In the field of biomedicine, polymers have also emerged. Biodegradable polymers can be made into sutures, drug slow-release carriers, etc. It can be gradually degraded in the body over time, avoiding the trouble of secondary surgery to remove, and can precisely control the rate of drug release, improving the therapeutic effect.
Small molecules and polymers, although their shapes and properties are very different, complement each other and together outline a brilliant picture of the material world. Small molecules provide the starting materials and key activities; polymers expand the properties and application scope of substances on this basis. The two complement each other in many fields such as natural science, engineering technology, and biomedicine, promoting human civilization to new heights.
