Branched polymers

The other polymer under the macromolecule category is branched
polymers. These polymers un-like their brother polymer cannot be traced by
finger rather they have molecule patterns branching out of the main chain-like
strand of monomers. Having branches in this polymer they become irregularly packed making them the opposite of their brother polymer having low tensile strength, low in density. Although
their boiling and melting points are similar to linear polymers they are alike
and similar in many ways. Some examples of this polymer are low density
polythene, glycogen, and also starch. Many of us don’t know that branched
polymers help us in daily life and also are apart of things we use daily and
often.
