In this episode, we talk about addition polymerisation.

Addition polymerisation is a process where numerous short-chain monomers, specifically alkenes, combine to form a single long-chain polymer.

This occurs because the carbon-carbon double bonds in the alkene monomers break, enabling them to link together.

Notably, the resulting polymer is the sole product of this reaction, meaning its repeating unit possesses the same atoms as the initial monomer.

Naming these polymers involves prefixing 'poly' to the bracketed name of the starting monomer, as illustrated by the formation of poly(ethene) from ethene and poly(propene) from propene.
