The evolution of Polymers which are produced by the binding of many
structural units, i.e. monomers in series, has led to one of the most important
revolution in the twentieth century. Besides their resistive and plastic
properties which match tho
se of metals, they are better than those in many
characteristics as they are lighter, cheaper and above all easier to manufacture.
Polymers are in every day life usage, starting from consumptional commedities
(containors) through the most developed applications such as in space sectors
and space navigation, and as molecular lock –and- key elements in medicine
and chemical reaction activation and filtering, in addition to their use in
intercalation chemistry and in biological sensors, biocompatibility and organic
transistors among others.
