High-molecular connections

High-molecular connections (synonym: polymers) – substances which molecules include a large number of the repeating groups in structure and molecular weight can make from several tens of thousands to several million atomic units.

Allocate high-molecular connections:

  • Natural (for example, proteins) – components a structural basis of all live organisms and the life activities which are taking part almost in all processes;
  • Synthetic – widely applied in medicine.
