| The monomer, ethene or ethylene, is obtained in large quantities from the cracking of petroleum. |
| According to the company, cyanoacrylates are reactive monomer liquids that become polymer films when they react to moisture or certain chemicals. |
| Possible effects of monomer tilt or lateral motion on the elastic energy are neglected. |
| The monomer units in the oligomeric structure become entangled with each other. |
| Fig. 4 compares the decay of the excited state for the native trimer and the solubilized monomer. |
| Although commonly represented as monomers, organolithiums tend to form oligomers of two to six monomer units. |
