Chapter 15, Problem 15.81P
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Among the two types of synthetic polymers, which is more similar chemically to biopolymers has to be explained.

Concept Introduction:

Polymers are made up of many number of small repeating units called monomers.  Monomer is a small unit which reacts with similar units to form a polymer.

Synthetic polymers:

Synthetic polymers are man-made polymers.  They are classified into four categories: thermoplastics, thermosets, elastomers and synthetic fibres.

Biopolymers:

Biopolymers are the polymers which are produced by living organisms.  They contain monomer units which are covalently bonded to form larger structures.
