Dark Stool: If your stool is black or bright red in color, it can mean that you are bleeding internally, as a possible result of an ulcer or cancer, and warrants a call to your doctor even if you think it could be hemorrhoids, or tiny tears in the anal tissue, due to constipation and straining.
The chemical reaction in which high molecular mass molecules are formed from monomers is known as polymerization. There are two basic types of polymerization, chain-reaction (or addition) and step-reaction (or condensation) polymerization.
A polymer can be an end product in itself, or it can be an ingredient that changes the properties of another product. The majority of polymer chemists work in industry, and focus on the end-use application of products, with an emphasis on applied research and preparation.
