SAMPLE

Polymers represent a **HUGE** category of natural and synthetic materials. Polymers are categorized based on their chemical structures and properties. Together the structures and properties of polymers determine what it can be used for. For example, polypropylene is a polymer that is used to make rope and other twisted fibers. Due to its durability, flexibility and resistance to abrasion (being worn away), polypropylene is PERFECT for using as a rope that may hold and secure heavy weight for tasks such as lifting.

In this activity you will be working with a partner, however in order to exercise the full potential of wiki communication, your partner CANNOT be sitting next to you. You will work together on this wiki to share your ideas, discuss and communicate the functions and properties of various polymers that you are familiar with. Some of these polymers you may see everday. (These polymers are listed below.)
