    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.
