POLYMERS AND FIBRES Polymers and fibres are giant molecules of organic compounds. Polymers and fibres are formed when small molecules called monomers join together to form large molecules called polymers at high temperatures and pressures. This process is called polymerization. Polymers and fibres are either: (a)Natura...

To reduce environmental pollution from synthetic polymers and fibres, the followitn methods of disposal should be used: 1.Recycling: Once produced all synthetic polymers and fibres should be recycled to a new product. This prevents accumulation of the synthetic polymers and fibres in the environment. 2.Production of bi...
