Polymer chemistry
As per available reports about 12 relevant journals, 18 Conferences, 23 workshops are presently dedicated exclusively to Polymer chemistry and about 5,476 articles are being published on Polymer chemistry
Polymer chemistry is a multidisciplinary science that deals with the chemical synthesis and chemical properties of polymers which were considered by Hermann Staudinger as macromolecules.According to IUPAC recommendations,macromolecules refer to the individual molecular chains and are the domain of chemistry. Polymers describe the bulk properties of polymer materials and belong to the field of polymer physics as a subfield of physics. This process of formation of polymers from respective monomers is called polymerization. particle bombardment, ionization separation, configurations etc….
Scope and Importance:
Polymers are high molecular mass compounds formed by polymerization of monomers. The simple reactive molecule from which the repeating structural units of a polymer are derived are called monomer. A polymer is chemically described by its degree of polymerisation, molar mass distribution, tacticity, copolymer distribution, the degree of branching, by its end-groups, crosslinks, crystallinity and thermal properties such as its glass transition temperature and melting temperature. Polymers in solution have special characteristics with respect to solubility, viscosity and gelation.

Schematically polymers are subdivided into biopolymers and synthetic polymers according to their origin. Each one of these classes of compounds can be subdivided into more specific categories in relationship to their use, properties and physicochemical characteristics.
The biochemistry and industrial chemistry are disciplines that are interested in the study of the chemistry of polymers.
Biopolymers: This are produced by living organisms:
Nucleic acids: DNA, RNA.
Synthetic polymers: these polymers are used for plastics, synthetic fibers, paints, building materials, furniture, mechanical parts and adhesives. These are divided into: Thermoplastic polymers such as polyethylene, teflon, polystyrene, polypropylene, polyester, polyurethane, Poly(methyl methacrylate), vinyl chloride, nylon, rayon, cellulose, silicon, glass fiber, among others. Thermoset plastics:vulcanized rubber, bakelite, Kevlar, polyepoxide.
Market Analysis:
Market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 9.5% between 2015 and 2020, to reach 213,100 MW thermal (MWth) by 2020. Asia-Pacific, with its thriving economies and rapidly expanding population, is expected to experience the highest consumption during the given period. The major driving factors of this market include the growing need for chemicals, fuels, and electricity, which can be generated simultaneously to meet the requirements of the increasing population.
