Peer reviewedCarraher, Charles, E., Jr.; And Others – Journal of Chemical Education, 1987
Discusses the diversity of names used for various types of polymeric materials. Concentrates on the naming of linear organic polymers. Delineates these polymers by discussing common names, source-based names, characteristic group names, and structure-based names. Introduces the specifications of tacticity and geometric isomerism.
