Abstract
This review presents a comprehensive overview of the recent advancements and developments in polymer science and technology. The structure and classifications of polymers are discussed, highlighting their unique properties and potential for tailoring specific applications. New polymeric technologies in medical applications, including as implantation of various body parts, have grown in popularity in recent years. This review paper discusses many types of polymers and their use in various fields. Polymers have an essential function in medicine and medication delivery. Polysaccharides have also been used to target medications to the colon following oral delivery. Moulds are the type of polymers which are used by dentists during the procedure. Polymeric semiconductor like Polypyrrole (PPy), polyaniline, and polydopamine which show remarkable applications in the field of electronics. Purification of water and elimination of harmful elements found in industrial water effluent is accomplished by the use of polymer membranes.
