Polymerization is the process of linking monomers into macromolecules called polymers. Key mechanisms include addition polymerization (chain-growth) and condensation polymerization (step-growth). Examples are polyethylene (produced by polymerizing ethylene) and nylon (formed via condensation of diamines and dicarboxylic acids). Polymers are ubiquitous in plastics, textiles, and biological systems (proteins, DNA). Understanding polymer chemistry is crucial for material innovation.
