POLYMER
A substance which consists of giant molecules formed by the linkage of simple molecules (monomers). The linkage process is a chemical reaction called polymerization. In the water and wastewater treatment process, polymers are also referred to as Polyelectrolytes.

Polymer
A polymer is a substance composed of molecules with large molecular mass composed of repeating structural units, or monomers, connected by covalent chemical bonds. The word is derived from the Greek, πολυ, polu, "many"; and μέρος, meros, "part"). Well known examples of polymers include plastics, DNA and proteins.
