Polymerisation is the process in which many small monomer units combine to form one large polymer molecule. The alkenes ethene and propene are two important feedstocks in the petrochemical ...

The basic units (monomers) of DNA are nucleotides. These nucleotides consist of a deoxyribose sugar, phosphate and base. The nucleotides are identical except for the base, which can be an adenine ...

Their value comes from diverse properties that are largely determined by their monomers—the single chemical units—that make up a polymer. Unfortunately, it can be challenging to control the ...
