Abstract
Polymer can be defined as a macromolecule, and due to its broad range of properties, they could play an essential role in everyday life. This chapter defines some terms of polymer and its chemistry for chain formation, mechanism of polymerization, methods for polymer characterization, etc. It also highlights the summary of each chapter of this book, i.e., the uses of both natural and synthetic polymers for water purification.
