Information
has glosseng: An essential concept which defines polymer structure, the repeat unit is the simplest structural entity of a polymer chain. So a polymer consists of several repeat units linked together successively along the chain, like the beads of a necklace. A repeat unit is sometimes called a mer or mer unit. "Mer" originates from the Greek word "meros," which means part. The word polymer derives its meaning from this, which means "many mers." A repeat unit (or mer), is not to be confused with the term monomer, which refers to the small molecule from which a polymer is synthesized .
