Polymerization is a process of reacting monomer molecules together in a chemical reaction to form three-dimensional networks or polymers chains. There are many forms of polymerization and different systems exist to categorize them.
Polymers such as PVC are generally referred to as "homopolymers" as they consist of repeated long chains or structures of the same monomer unit, whereas polymers that consist of more than one molecule are referred to as "co-polymers".
