🧪🔗 POLYMERS: The Building Blocks of Modern Life! 🔗🧪 Did you know? A polymer is a giant molecule made of many repeating small units called monomers. From plastic bottles and clothing to medical devices and vehicle parts, polymers are everywhere around us! 🔹 Natural Polymers: Cellulose, Proteins, DNA, Natural Rubber 🔹 Synthetic Polymers: Polyethylene (PE), PVC, Nylon, Teflon (PTFE) ✅ Lightweight ✅ Strong and Durable ✅ Corrosion Resistant ✅ Easily Molded into Different Shapes Understanding polymers helps us appreciate the science behind everyday materials and encourages responsible use and recycling for a sustainable future. 🌍♻️ #Polymer #Polymers #Chemistry #Science #MaterialScience #PolymerChemistry #STEM #ScienceEducation #LearningScience #ChemistryFacts #ScienceForAll #ScienceCommunication #Education #Innovation #Research #PlasticScience #Nylon #PVC #Teflon #Polyethylene #Molecules #Monomer #Polymerization #ScientificTemper #GUJCOST #CommunityScienceCentre #CSCNavsari #ScienceOutreach #IndiaScience #STEMEducation #ScienceAwareness #SciencePoster #DailyScience #Recycling #Sustainability #Environment

Great to be with #plasticscience champions and all around positive environmental rockstars @JambeckResearch and @Erica__Nunez 🌎

Students have been chatting with the scientists and learning about their roles in the #PlasticZone 🧪 Take a look below to see how Christina works with polymers to make shampoo 🧴 @RoySocChem #PlasticScience #plasticpositive

New paper! Fantastic collab @AzoMarineLitter @ChrisKPham @YazzRodrgz & ofc Joao! We look at North Atlantic commercial fishes and find low incidences of #microplastics even in proximity to NASG @ExeterMarine @UofE_Research #plasticscience @CezzaLew doi.org/10.1016/j.envpol.202…

We went worm digging today... And it's as glamorous as it looks AND sounds @UniofExeter @UofE_Research @ExeterMarine @NERCscience @JA_Fitzgerald @MarineBioAlice #TeamWorm #wormsofinstagram #DigForVictory #MarineBiology #PlasticScience
