Chemistry: AQA GCSE Higher, topic 7.2.13

Examples of Addition Polymerisation

Naming addition polymers is very simple. Start with 'poly' and then put brackets around the name of the monomer.

Poly(ethene)

Poly(ethene)

  • When ethene monomers undergo addition polymerisation, poly(ethene) is the product.
Poly(propene)

Poly(propene)

  • When propene monomers undergo addition polymerisation, poly(propene) is the product.
