What are synthetic polymers?

Image
Synthetic polymers are a class of human-made compounds that consist of chains and networks of repeating units. Typical examples include polyethylene (PE), polyvinyl chloride (PVC), polyamide (e.g., nylon), polyacrylate (e.g., adhesives), and polyester (e.g., PET). You will find that a very large portion of the things in your daily life is made of synthetic polymers. Without synthetic polymers, we would not have laptops, phones, bottles, a variety of textiles, and so much more. Source: https://theory.labster.com/synthetic_pvc/ Karawang, April 30, 2025 Ir.

The moment I stepped out of the airport, I was greeted by the bustling energy of the city. My first stop was Millennium Park. Seeing the iconic Cloud Gate (or "The Bean") in person was surreal. The reflective surface of the sculpture was mesmerizing, and I spent quite some time taking photos and admiring the skyline reflected in it. N ext, I took a stroll down Michigan Avenue, also known as the Magnificent Mile. The array of shops, restaurants, and historic buildings was overwhelming in the best way possible. I treated myself to a delicious deep-dish pizza at Giordano's, which lived up to all the hype. As the day came to an end, I walked along the Chicago Riverwalk.

Types of batteries used in an electric vehicle There are many types of batteries that a vehicles uses for various applications, listed down are a few of them.   Explore the heart of electric vehicles with a deep dive into EV batteries.  From Lithium-ion to Solid-State, we'll unravel the science behind these energy powerhouses.  Get ready to supercharge your knowledge and learn how different batteries drive the electric future! How do they run? Imagine driving a car that runs on electricity instead of gas. A car that emits zero pollution and saves you money on fuel.  A car that is quiet, smooth, and smart. That’s what electric vehicles (EVs) offer. But EVs are not all the same. They use different kinds of batteries to store and deliver electricity.  Each battery has its own pros and cons, depending on how you use your car.
