Polymers are high molecular mass substances consisting of large number of repeating structural units derived from simple molecules. The polymers formed from one type of monomers are called homopolymers and those formed from two or more different monomers are called copolymers. Depending upon the molecular forces between monomers, polymers may be classified as elastomers, fibers, thermoplastic and thermosetting polymers. The polymers may be formed simply by addition of monomers called addition polymers or by combination of two or more monomers by elimination of simple molecules, called condensation polymers.
Name a synthetic polymer which is an ester.

**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding the Question**: The question asks for a synthetic polymer that is classified as an ester. We need to identify a specific polymer that fits this description. 2. **Identifying Synthetic Polymers**: Synthetic polymers are man-made polymers, as opposed to natural ones. Common examples include nylon, polyester, and polyvinyl chloride (PVC). 3. **Focusing on Esters**: Since we are looking for a synthetic polymer that is an ester, we need to focus on those that are derived from esterification reactions. One well-known category of synthetic polymers that are esters is polyesters. ...
