Explanation

Synthetic polymers are human-made polymers. From the utility point of view they can be classified into four main categories: thermoplastics, thermosets, elastomers and synthetic fibers. An elastomer is a polymer with viscoelasticity (having both viscosity and elasticity) and very weak inter-molecular forces. Examples are- polychloroprene, Neoprene, Baypren, Elastolefin urea formaldehyde resin (UFR), etc.
