ქიმიის ტერმინთა განმარტებითი ლექსიკონი

<p>Polymer derived from one species of (real, implicit or hypothetical) monomer.</p>
<p><strong>Note 1:</strong> Many <em>polymer</em>s are made by the mutual reaction of complementary <em>monomers</em>. These <em>monomers </em>can readily be visualized as reacting to give an "implicit monomer"&nbsp;or "hypothetical monomer", the homo<em>polymerization </em>of which would give the actual product, which can be regarded as a homopolymer. Well-known examples are poly(ethylene terephthalate) and poly(<em>N</em>,<em>N</em>`-hexane-1,6-diyladipamide).</p>
<p><strong>Note 2:</strong> Some <em>polymer</em>s are obtained by the chemical modification of other <em>polymer</em>s such that the structure of the <em>macromolecules </em>that constitute the resulting <em>polymer </em>can be thought of as having been formed by the homo<em>polymerization </em>of a hypothetical <em>monomer</em>. These <em>polymer</em>s can be regarded as homopolymers. A well-known example is poly(vinyl alcohol).</p>
