The above polymers and many others are usually made
by synthesis from their monomers. However, one can
also make polymers from natural sources. These
polymers are called biopolymers. Some examples of
biopolymers are cellulose derivatives, gelatin, pectin,
chitosan and alginate. These polymers often have a
complex molecular structure:

Plastics are kind of polymer material that do not exhibit
rubber-electricity. They can be divided into two kinds:

Gels - When a semidilute polymer solution is cross-
linked either chemically or physically, a gel may form.
Gels usually contain just a few percent of polymer and
consist mainly of a solvent (usually water). Addition of
more solvent may cause the gel to swell. Uses:
absorbent (e.g. in diapers), controlled drug delivery,
cosmetics, food, ...
