What to Focus On

  • Polymers are large molecules made of repeating monomer units.
  • Monomers are small molecules that join together to form polymers.
  • Polymerization is the process of forming polymers from monomers.

  • Homopolymers are made from a single type of monomer.
  • Copolymers are made from two or more different monomers.
  • Copolymers often have improved properties compared to homopolymers.

  • Addition polymerization: no by-product, fast, involves unsaturated monomers.
  • Condensation polymerization: produces small molecules like H₂O, step-wise process.
  • Condensation polymers have amide or ester linkages.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Addition and condensation polymerization are the same because both form long chains.

All polymers are synthetic.

Monomer of nylon-66 is caprolactam.
