Study Notes

Monomers and Polymerization

A monomer is a small molecule that reacts with other monomers to form a polymer, serving as a building block for the creation of polymers.
Degree of polymerization (DP) refers to the number of monomers linked together to form a polymer.

Polymerization

Polymerization is the process in which monomers react to form a polymer, characterized by the formation of covalent bonds between monomers.

Molecular Mass of a Polymer

The molecular mass of a polymer is determined by the number of monomers linked together and the molecular mass of each monomer.

Monomers in Relation to Polymers

Monomers are also referred to as repeat units or mer units in relation to polymers, emphasizing their role as the fundamental components of polymer chains.
