## Overview
Polymers are defined by their long-chain architecture: molecular weight,
distribution, branching, and crosslinking control everything from melt
viscosity to toughness. This skill covers the essential concepts (Mn, Mw,
PDI, Tg, crystallinity), the main synthesis routes, key characterization
methods, and how structure maps to properties and processing.
## When to use
- Selecting a polymer for an application: matching Tg, crystallinity, and toughness to service conditions
- Troubleshooting synthesis: low molecular weight, broad distribution, gelation
- Interpreting GPC, DSC, DMA, and rheology data
- Diagnosing product failures: environmental stress cracking, UV degradation, creep
