How can we classify polymers?

          We have a tendency to classify everything around us. Similar things are often grouped together for the ease of understanding. Polymers too can be grouped based on different criteria.

          We already discussed natural, synthetic and semi-synthetic polymers. This classification is based on their source. Are there other possible ways to classify them? Indeed yes!

         Polymers can be clubbed together based on their structure, molecular forces and type of polymerization. Look at the diagram to get a clear picture of this.
