What Is The Definition Of The Global Circular Polymer Market?
A circular polymer is a type of polymer in which the polymer chains are linked end-to-end, forming a closed loop or ring structure, rather than the linear or branched forms typically found in traditional polymers. This circular architecture has unique physical and chemical properties compared to linear polymers. Circular polymers can exhibit unique properties compared to their linear counterparts, such as improved thermal stability, enhanced mechanical strength, and different solubility characteristics.
