How polymers work, an extension of the Polymer Science Learning
Center, is a site dedicated to polymers and materials that we encounter
in everyday life. If you've ever asked yourself "how did they do that?",
"how does that work?", or "what does this do?", and some type of plastic
was involved, then we just may have the answer for you!
