Explanation

It is a general term for small molecules that can polymerization with the same or other molecules. It is a simple compound that can synthesize macromolecule compounds such as polymerization or polycondensation reaction. It is a low molecular raw material used to synthesize polymer. Generally unsaturated, cyclic, or low molecular weight compounds containing two or more functional groups. For example, vinyl chloride CH2=CHCl monomer can undergo polymerization to form polyvinyl chloride; Caprolactam monomer can form polycaprolactam through polymerization. For example, ethylene, propylene, vinyl chloride, styrene, etc. are monomer for the synthesis of polyethylene, polypropylene, polyvinyl chloride and polystyrene, as well as structural units of these four macromolecule compounds.
