2 interactive concept widgets for Polymers. Drag any slider, change any number, and watch the formula and the answer update live. Built so you understand how each NEET problem actually works, not just the final number.

Select any monomer to instantly see the polymer it forms: repeating unit formula, polymerisation type (addition / condensation / ring-opening), linkage formed, by-product, thermal behaviour, and NEET key fact. Covers Teflon, PVC, Nylon 6/6,6, Dacron, Bakelite, natural rubber, and more.
Select a monomer to see the polymer it forms, its structure, polymerisation type, and NEET key facts.
CH₂=CH₂
(-CH₂-CH₂-)n
C-C single bond
None (no atoms lost)
LDPE = branched (low density, soft bags). HDPE = linear (high density, rigid pipes). Same monomer, different conditions give different products.
Click any polymer to see its full classification profile: source (natural/synthetic), mode (addition/condensation), structure (linear/branched/cross-linked), thermal behaviour (thermoplastic/thermosetting/elastomer), and biodegradability. Includes a quick-reference summary table of all 10 key NEET polymers.
Click any polymer to see its complete classification profile across all five systems. Use this to build your NEET memory map.
Vinyl chloride (CH₂=CHCl)
C-C single bond
Adding plasticisers to PVC makes it soft and flexible. Without them, it is hard and rigid. Same polymer, completely different feel.
