Classification of polymers based on their structure can be of three types: (i) Linear polymers: These polymers are similar in structure to a long straight chain which identical links connected to each other. The monomers in these are linked together to form a long chain. These polymers have high melting points and are of higher density.
Bio-based polymers are defined as material where at least a portion of the polymer consists of material produced from renewable raw materials. For example, bio-based polymers may be produced from corn or sugar cane. The remaining portion of the polymers may be from fossil fuel–based carbon. Bio-based polymers have generally lower CO 2
