The word polymer is a combination of two Greek
words polys and meros. Polys means numerous,
and meros means part; therefore, polymer is a
compound of numerous parts. Actually, a polymer is a
large molecule which consist of of one or more
repeating units linked together by covalent bonds.
Requirements For Polymers

Should be compatible with asphalt.
Should be capable of being processed by conventional
mixing and laying equipment.
Should be able to maintain their premium properties
during mixing, storage, and application services.
Should also be cost effective.
