dc.description.abstract	Polymers play an important role in our day-to-day life. In Greek, poly means “many” and mer means “parts”. Polysaccharides, proteins and nucleic acids are the main bio-polymers/macromolecules. A large number of industries (e.g., packaging, textile, automobile, paper etc.) are based on synthetic polymers such as polyethylene (PE), poly(vinylchloride) (PVC), polyesters, nylon, etc., and natural polymers such as rubber, cellulose, etc. Joseph Priestly discovered “natural rubber”, a natural polymer derived from the monomer 1,3-cis-isoprene. Bakelite was the 1st synthetic polymer prepared by Leo Baekeland in 1907 from phenol and HCHO	en_US
