“Chain Reaction”

In the heart of the lab, where the monomers play,
They link up together in a magical way.
Carbon backbones growing, long and strong,
Polymer chains singing their endless song.

From the ethylene dance to the styrene’s spin,
Addition or condensation, let the games begin.
Radicals rising, catalysts ignite,
Building up the future, one bond at a time.

Oh, it’s a chain reaction, a molecular dream,
From the smallest unit to a flowing stream.
Plastics and fibers, elastomers too,
Polymer chemistry’s changing the view.

We’re building up the chains, making something new,
From the lab to the world, it’s a breakthrough.
Polymer dreams, in every strand,
Shaping the future with a steady hand.

Polyethylene’s strong, PVC’s tough,
Nylon and polyester, we can’t get enough.
Rubber’s elastic, bouncing back again,
Thermoplastics melting, reshaping in the end.

Cross-linking bridges, networks so tight,
Vulcanized and sturdy, holding on with might.
From the DNA helix to the Kevlar’s weave,
Polymer chemistry’s the world we believe.

Oh, it’s a chain reaction, a molecular dream,
From the smallest unit to a flowing stream.
Plastics and fibers, elastomers too,
Polymer chemistry’s changing the view.

We’re building up the chains, making something new,
From the lab to the world, it’s a breakthrough.
Polymer dreams, in every strand,
Shaping the future with a steady hand.

From the monomer’s spark to the polymer’s glow,
It’s a world of connections, a chemical flow.
Biodegradable or forever to last,
Polymer chemistry’s future is vast.

We’re building up the chains, making something new,
From the lab to the world, it’s a breakthrough.
Polymer dreams, in every strand,
Shaping the future with a steady hand.

So here’s to the polymers, the chains that bind,
A world of materials, one of a kind.
From the lab to the stars, we’ll never be through,
Polymer chemistry’s changing the view.
