Whatever method is used, all polymer names have the prefix poly, followed by enclosing marks around the rest of the name. The marks are used in the order: { [ ( )]}.

This guide is being used by lecturers, students, authors publishing in polymer-science journals, and indeed anyone who would like to know how polymers are named in accordance with …

Feb 1, 2014 · Polymers are chains of chemical subunits, called monomers. Polymers can be made by addition, forming a single long chain, or condensation, forming complex branching …

Most of these involve writing poly followed by the monomer name in parentheses. For example, the polymer formed from the monomer tetrafluoroethene is simply poly (tetrafluoroethene).

SOURCE-BASED NOMENCLATURE The name of a polymer is made by prefixing the monomer name with ‘poly’. The monomer names used are the systematic or retained names presently …

Source-based nomenclature can be used when the monomer can be identified. Alternatively, more explicit structure-based nomenclature can be used when the polymer structure is proven. …

Most of these involve writing poly followed by the monomer name in parentheses. For example, the polymer formed from the monomer tetrafluoroethene is simply poly (tetrafluoroethene).

To clarify, the polymer is named using the polymer class name followed by a colon and the name of the monomer, i.e., class name:monomer name. Thus on the left and right, respectively, are …

This brief Technical Report summarizes the key points on the nomenclature of macromolecules and polymers.

Naming macromolecules according to the monomers is the closest thing we have to systematic naming. In the simplest versions we have polymers like polyethylene and polypropylene, …
