Polymer scientists and engineers

Polymer scientists and engineers are professionals who specialize in the study, development, processing, and application of polymers—large molecules composed of repeated subunits (monomers). Polymers include a wide range of materials, such as plastics, rubbers, fibers, and biological macromolecules like proteins and DNA. Here's a breakdown of their roles: ### Polymer Scientists: 1. **Research and Development**: They conduct research to understand the properties and behaviors of polymers at the molecular and macroscopic levels.
