	Polymer chemistry Summary
		Polymer chemistry is the field of study concerned with the production, classification, and modification of macromolecules or polymers.
		Polymers describe the bulk properties of polymer materials and belong to the field of polymer physics as a subfield of physics.
		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.

	Polymer Chemistry Glossary
		Examples are the swelling of a poly(acrylamide) polymer with aqueous solution (in a disposable nappy) or the dissolution of carbon dioxide in seawater (one of the possible antidotes to global warming that crops up in models of world climate.
		Most synthetic polymers are not particularly biodegradable (poly(acrylamide) is a rare example of one that is readily degraded), but many are susceptible to breakdown by ultraviolet radiation from the sun and will crumble away in about the same time as an equivalent sheet of paper.
		Some polymers, like styrene and vinyl chloride, will be difficult to depolymerise because the bonds between the side-groups (the phenyl ring and chlorine in these examples) are weaker than the C-C bonds between ex-monomers, and the polymer will degrade into different species than the starting materials.
