Polyaddition

Mandarin:
聚加成 (jù jiā chéng)
Explanation in English Language (EN):
Polyaddition is a step-growth polymerization process in which monomers react to form polymers without the loss of any small molecules. The monomers add to each other in a stepwise fashion, forming dimers, trimers, and eventually long chains. Polyaddition is often used to synthesize polymers with heteroatom linkages in the backbone, such as polyurethanes, polyethers, and polyamides.
Explanation in Mandarin (ZH):
聚加成是一种逐步增长聚合过程,其中单体反应形成聚合物而不损失任何小分子。单体以逐步的方式相互添加,形成二聚体、三聚体,最终形成长链。聚加成通常用于合成主链中具有杂原子键的聚合物,例如聚氨酯、聚醚和聚酰胺。
