Polymers play a very important role in human life. Our body is made of lot of polymers, e.g. Proteins, enzymes, etc. Other naturally occurring polymers like wood, rubber, leather and silk are have wide application. Now a day synthetic polymer like useful plastics, rubbers and fiber materials are synthesized. Leo Baekeland patented the first totally synthetic polymer called Bakelite (1910). Bakelite is a versatile, durable material prepared from low-cost materials phenol and formaldehyde and was the most important synthetic polymer material. In the 1920s Hermann Staudinger showed that polymers were high-molecular-weight compounds held together by normal covalent bonds.
The suffix in polymer ‘mer’ is originated from Greek word meros – which means part. The word polymer is thus coined to mean material consisting of many parts or mers. A macromolecule having high molecular mass (103-107u) and generally not a well-defined structure or molecular weight. The macromolecules formed by joining of repeating structural units on a large scale. The repeating structural units are simple and reactive molecules linked to each other by covalent bonds. This process of formation of polymers from respective monomers is called polymerization. Most of the polymers are basically organic compounds, however they can be inorganic (e.g. silicones based on Si-O network).
polymers include the familiar plastic and rubber materials, many of them are organic compounds that are chemically based on carbon ,hydrogen , and other nonmetallic elements , furthermore , they have very large molecular structure. these materials typically have low densities and maybe extremely flexible.
It is also called as Co-ordination polymerisation. Zeigler (1953) and Natta (1955) discovered that in the presence of a combination of transition metal halides like TCl4, ZnBr3 etc, with an organometallic compound like triethyl-aluminium or trimethyl-aluminium, stereospecific polymerisation can be carried out. Combination of metal halides and organometallic compounds are called Zeigler Natta catalyst.

Plastic materials that are manufactured in the industries are widely used for various day to day applications in our life. These materials have both advantages and disadvantages in our lives.
This is also called as moulding of plastics into articles. To give shapes to plastics, several methods of fabrication are used. They are
1. Compression moulding
2. Injection moulding
3. Transfer moulding
4. Extrusion moulding
polymers which possess the property of elasticity is called rubber. Temporary deformation in structure on applying some stress is more than 600 e.u. When stress is applied polymer chain gets partially aligned with respect to another there by causing crystallisation, which makes the polymer stiff.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
2. Introduction:
Polymers are large molecules composed of repeated chemical units. The
smallest repeating unit is called monomer (mono [Single] + mer [part]). The
word polymer is derived from the Greek word „poly‟ = many; mers = parts. It is
generally described in terms of single repeated units such as
CH2 = CH2 –(CH2 – CH2)–n
Ethylene Polyethylene
Definition:
Polymer is a macromolecule built-up by linking together of a large number
of smaller molecules called monomers.
Eg: Polyethylene is a polymer formed by linking together of a large number of
ethylene molecules.
3. The process by which the simple molecules (monomers) are converted into
polymers is called “polymerization”.
4. Degree of polymerization:
The number of repeating units (n) in a polymer chain is called degree of
polymerization (DP).
Eg: If 100 molecules of ethylene polymerize to give the polymer chain, the DP
of ethylene is 100.
All polymers are macromolecules but all macromolecules are not polymers
because polymer consist repeating units of monomers.
Eg: Chlorophyll is a macromolecule but not polymer.
Types of polymers
Based on the source of polymers, there are two types of polymers namely
natural polymers and synthetic polymers.
5. a.) Natural polymers: The polymers which are obtained from natural sources
such as plants and animals are called natural polymers.
Plant polymers:
Ex: Cellulose – flexible, strong natural polymer, gives shape to plant cells. It is
made in the plant when sugar molecules are joined into long strands.
Animal polymers:
Ex: Spider web – chemicals in the spiders body mix to make the spider web;
one of the strongest materials known.
Silk – polymer made from the silkworm. These two types can be
Wool – polymer made from the wool of sheep. woven into thread and cloth.
Our body also has polymers.
Finger nails – made from proteins which are polymers.
Amino acids – makes up proteins (act as monomers)
6. b.) Synthetic polymers:
The polymers which are synthesized from simple molecules are called synthetic
polymers. Most polymers used in everyday activity are synthetic and starting
material for most of these come from coal or oil (petroleum products).
These polymers are used due to a lower cost to produce, longer durability,
flexible, strong, hard and light weight.
Eg:
• Plastic is a synthetic polymer that can be molded or shaped.
• Polyester and nylon are used more instead of cotton, wool, silk, etc.
• Laminated counters and vinyl floors are used in kitchens instead of pure wood.
• CDs, computer parts, artificial heart valves, tires, all come from polymers.
• Other examples are – strong polymers when paired with light weight ones can
be used in airplanes, bikes, cars, fishing rods, sports equipment, etc.
7. Types or Methods of polymerization
The conversion of a monomer into a polymer is an exothermic process and if
heat is not dissipated or properly controlled, explosions may take place. The
polymerization reactions are broadly classified into three types.
1. Addition polymerization or Chain polymerization
2. Condensation polymerization or Step growth polymerization and
3. Copolymerization.
8. Eg:
1. Addition or Chain polymerization: The polymerization that takes place by
self addition of the monomer molecules to each other through a chain reaction is
called addition polymerization.
• No by-products like H2O, CH3OH etc. are produced.
• The polymer has the same chemical composition as that of monomer.
• The molecular weight of the polymer is the exact multiple of the monomers.
• An initiator is required to start the polymerization reaction.
9. 2. Condensation or Step polymerization:
Step polymerization takes place by condensation reactions of functional groups
of the monomers and elimination of small molecules like water, HCl, etc.
• The monomers contain functional groups like -OH, -COOH, -NH2, halides, etc.
The polymer is built up by a slow stepwise condensation of the functional
groups of the monomer.
• The polymers produced are living polymers containing functional groups at the
end of the chain.
• The reactions are catalyzed by catalysts.
Eg: Polymerization of a diamine with diacid gives nylon 6,6 (polyamide)
11. 3. Copolymerization: It is the joint polymerization of two or more species.
High molecular weight compounds obtained by copolymerization are called
copolymers.
Eg: Butadiene and styrene copolymerize to yield GRS rubber (Styrene-
butadiene rubber).
Dif
12. Differences between Addition and Condensation polymerization
Addition polymerization Condensation polymerization
1. Repeat units and monomers are same. 1. Repeat units and monomers are different.
2. Polymerization involves no loss of molecules or
atoms.
2. Polymerization is accompanied by loss of
molecules or atoms.
3. Monomer concentration decreases steadily. 3. Almost all the monomer disappears in the first
10% of the reaction.
4. All the polymer is formed at once and molecular
weight of the polymer changes little throughout.
4. Molecular weight of the polymer rises
throughout reaction.
5. High molecular weight polymers are formed all
at once.
5. Low molecular weight polymers are formed.
Longer reaction times are essential for obtaining
high molecular weight polymers.
6. Mainly homochain polymers often have carbon
chains.
6. Mainly heterochain polymers often have
functional group atoms as a part of chain.
7. Monomer could be mono functional. 7. Monomer needs to be bi- or poly- functional.
