Extract

Polymer materials range from industrial commodities, such as plastic bags, to high-tech polymers used for optical applications, and all the way to biological systems, where the most prominent example is DNA. They can be crystalline, amorphous (glasses, melts, gels, rubber), or in solution. Polymers in the glassy state are standard materials for many applications (yogurt cups, compact discs, housings for technical equipment, etc.).
