Polymer Manufacturing Plant
In the organic chemistry certain giant molecules such as starch, rubber, plastic or resin, synthetic fibres, cellulose, proteins are
called polymers and plants manufacturing them are polymer plants. Thus rubber manufacturing plant, synthetic yarn (nylon Terylene etc.)
unit, plastic, resin or silicon making factory or a starch manufacturing factory can be called a polymer plant.
The polymer (bigger) molecules are built up of smaller units joined together and form a repeating structure. The repeating structure or
the recurring unit in a given molecule is called the monomer, and the entire molecule composed of several such reporting units is
called a polymer. Thus we can say that rubber is a polymer of isoprene, starch of α-glucose and cellulose of β-glucose.
