Explanation

The classification based on source is sub categorized in-

  1. Natural polymers: These polymers are found in plants and animals. Examples are proteins, cellulose, starch, resins and rubber.
  2. Semi-synthetic polymers: Cellulose derivatives as cellulose acetate (rayon) and cellulose nitrate, etc. are the usual examples of this sub category.
  3. Synthetic polymers: A variety of synthetic polymers as plastic (polythene), synthetic fibres (nylon 6,6) and synthetic rubbers (Buna - S) are examples of manmade polymers extensively used in daily life as well as in industry.
