Pengampu, Dr. Irfan Gustian, S.Si, M.Si

 Beberapa faktor pendorong yang menyebabkan
pesatnya pertumbuhan/perkembangan polimer
adalah:
•Mudah untuk teknologi produksi massa.
•Mudah di bentuk.
•Bahan baku murah.
•Untuk bentuk yang kompleks tetap akurat dan
reproduksibel.
•Diversifikasi sifat yang dapat dihasilkan.

Monomer (One Unit)
-any molecule capable of reacting to form
repeating units
Oligomer (Few Units)
-few monomers (usually 2-10) reacted
with each other
Polymer (Many Units)
A giant molecule made up of many
monomers (Molecular Wt typically greater
than 5,000)

 Structure and Morphology
• What linking monomers can FORM
– Linear chain or backbone with pendant groups
• Pendants can be any functional group
– Reactive or not
– Branching chain
• With more that 2 functional Groups in which short chains
emerge from the backbone

– Cross-linked chain
• Branching but the backbones merge together
