Polymeric Materials
                                o Polymers are typically organic materials.


                                        They are produced using a process



                                        known as polymerization.


                                o Some of the common and familiar


                                        polymers are polyethene (PE), nylon,


                                        poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC),


                                        polycarbonate (PC), polystyrene (PS),


                                        and silicone rubber.
