This document defines class names of polymers based on the class names of starting monomers and characteristic features of the chemical constitution of polymer molecules (macromolecules), i.e., class names that have gained general acceptance in the polymer and material literature, science and technology as well as in public.
The glossary is divided into three parts:
* Source-based class names, which identify common classes of starting monomers such as "acrylic", "diene", "phenolic", "vinylic".
* Class names based on chemical structure, which identify characteristic groups in the main chains (backbones) of the polymer molecules such as (i) inter-unit groups derived ...
