Like all plastics, the new material is a polymer—a large molecule comprising smaller, repeating units called monomers. The units are called omega-hydroxyfatty acids, and when strung together to form a polymer, they can produce a biologically friendly plastic. The monomer itself is relatively new. Wenhua Lu, Jon E.
