Subdisciplines
This science comprises three main sub-disciplines:
- Polymer chemistry or macromolecular chemistry is concerned with the chemical synthesis and chemical properties of polymers.
- Polymer physics is concerned with the bulk properties of polymer materials and engineering applications.
- Polymer characterization is concerned with the analysis of chemical structure and morphology and the determination of physical properties in relation to compositional and structural parameters.
