Key Concepts

Polymerization

Polymerization is the chemical process in which small molecular units called monomers join together to form large, chain-like molecules known as polymers. This process can occur via different mechanisms, with the method influencing the polymer’s structure and properties.

Monomers

Monomers are the individual, reactive molecules that serve as the building blocks for polymers. They typically contain specific reactive groups, such as carbon–carbon double bonds, that enable them to link together through chemical reactions, forming long repeating chains.

Addition Polymerization

Addition polymerization is a reaction mechanism where monomers containing unsaturated bonds, like carbon–carbon double bonds, add to one another sequentially without the elimination of small molecules. This mechanism is common in synthesizing polymers from vinyl monomers.

Functional Group Reactivity

Understanding functional group reactivity is crucial in polymer chemistry. Functional groups, such as nitrile groups, affect the monomer’s chemical behavior and determine the reactivity during the polymerization process, as well as the properties of the resulting polymer.
