A polymer is any long chain molecule made of many repeating units. Examples of natural polymers include the proteins in silk and wool, and the cellulose in cotton and linen. Examples of synthetic polymers include nylon, acrylic, and polyester. I don’t believe that there is such as thing as a textile fiber in the world that is not made of a polymer of some sort, except for true metal fibers made from such materials as stainless steel.
