What is a Polymer
[] this page describes how polymers are and how are they made, I guess. I like this resource because its simple and direct. JR []::: this website helps on how to identifiy what polymers are and some examples of polymers.... well her you go j.c [] This Article Shows What Polymers are & How They Are Used. Wendell M. [] This page tells what polymers are and what they are used for Darren F. [] this describes what a polymer is, I find it helpful the way they word it. Meliette c. [|[[http://pslc.ws/macrog/kidsmac/basics.htmThis|http://pslc.ws/macrog/kidsmac/basics.htm]]] This article is about what exactly polymers are as well as the correct definition of a polymer. It also gives you examples of polymers and non polymer. It also tells you that not all molecules can make up a polymer. Interesting huh? It’s easy to read. And has a great picture as well as colors. ayan H.

How are Polymers Formed?
==[] This article talks about the formation of a polymer, what it is made of, and what polymers are found in. I pick this because it gets to the point and it is short.Virginia M. ==

[] this describes how polymers are formed, it helped me because it shows how it is formed and it fives a good definition meliette c. []::: this website summarizes on how polymers are formed and there is a bonus on how polymers are broken:: p.s joel.c [|**//http://www.pslc.ws/basics.html//**] **// this page shows how polymers are made. I like this page because……..its simple. Jose R //**

How does the Structure of a Polymer affect its Properties?
[] This article talks about cross-linking and how it has changed from years ago to now. I pick this article because has pictures to help understand and uses a good example of how rubber was before cross-linking and how it is now.Virginia M.

[] these sites talks in depth about the structure and chains of polymers and which element are usually in a polymer, carbon being the back bone which covalently bonds with certain other atoms for ex. Element CL. It has precise pictures and also talks about different kinds of carbon backbone structures some of which are branching and networking. Ayan H
