Some familiar household synthetic polymers include: Nylons in textiles and fabrics, Teflon in non-stick pans, Bakelite for electrical switches, polyvinyl chloride (PVC) in pipes, etc.
The common PET bottles are made of a synthetic polymer, polyethylene terephthalate.
The plastic kits and covers are mostly made of synthetic polymers like polythene, and tires are manufactured from polybutadienes.
[1] However, due to the environmental issues created by these synthetic polymers which are mostly non-biodegradable and often synthesized from petroleum, alternatives like bioplastics are also being considered.
Note 1: Artificial polymer should also be used in the case of chemicallymodified biopolymers.
