These are also referred to as macromolecules which are formed by joining of repeating structural units on a large scale. Natural polymers are found in plants and animals, Examples are proteins, cellulose, starch, some resins and rubber. Cellulose derivatives such as cellulose acetate (rayon) and cellulose nitrate etc, are the usual examples of semi-synthetic polymers. A variety of synthetic polymers as plastic (polythene), synthetic fibres (nylon 6,6) and synthetic rubbers (Buna - S) are examples of man-made polymers extensively used in daily life as well as in industry.
