Monomer Monomer name Compound registry number Monomer classification Molecular formula, Molecular weight
Monomer (IUPAC definition) monomer molecule A molecule which can undergo polymerization thereby contributing constitutional units to the essential structure of a macromolecule. monomer A substance composed of monomer molecules. Monomer name The following names are registered as a name of monomer. Systematic Name The systematic name is a name in accordance with the IUPAC organic compound nomenclature based on the chemical structure of monomer. For IUPAC nomenclature, IUPAC Nomenclature of Organic Chemistry (Recommendations 1979, Recommendations 1993．) Corrections to A Guide to IUPAC Nomenclature of Organic Compounds. Recommendations 1993. Trivial Name The trivial name is a name used commonly when monomer is shown. In PoLyInfo, names other than the systematic names are trivial names. Abbreviation For example, "Tolylene Di-Isocyanate" is commonly named as "TDI" using its initial letters. Representative name of monomer When the one name is selected, registered trivial name is used. Else, the systematic name is representative. Compound registry number Monomer ID is a unique management number for monomers originally defined by PoLyInfo. PoLyInfo Monomer ID (MID) JST compound number (Japanese compound dictionary number) CAS registry number Monomer classification In PoLyInfo, the monomers are classified roughly as follows, according to their structural differences and the polymerization types. Carbon Multibonding Monomers: Addition polymerization type Ring Monomers: Ring-opening polymerization type and polycondensation type Bifunctional Monomers (bifunctional monomer and others): Polycondensation type and polyaddition type Others In addition, they are classified into 38 kinds as follows, based on the structural features that correspond to polymer classification and/or to polymerization classification. 1. Carbon multibonding monomers (addition polymerization type) 01. Acetylenes Compound that has one triple bond or more. [Remarks] When monomer has the structure of C≡C-R, it is classified into here regardless of the structure of R. 02. Acrylic acids (Acrylics) Compound that has C=C-CO-Z (Z=O or S or N) or C=C-CN strucutre. 03. Dienes Compound that has two double bonds C=C or more. 04. Halo-olefins Compuond that has only one double bond C=C, and doesn't contain elements other than C, H, and halogen(X). (X=F, Cl, Br, I) 05. Olefins Compound that has only one double bond C=C, and consists only of C and H. [Remarks] Monomers are classified into here only for the hydrocarbon radical for R not to contain the aromatic ring where monomer has the structure of C=C-R. 06. Styrenes Compound that has structure of C=C-Ar (Ar=aromatic rings and aromatic heterocyclic rings). 07. Vinyl compounds Compound that has vinyl group C=C-, and has atom or aromatic rings other that C and H. [Remarks] The monomer classified into Halo-olefins, Styrenes, and Acrylic acids is classified into Vinyl compounds at the same time. 2. Ring monomers (ring-opening polymerization type/polycondensation type) 08. Cyclic acid anhydrides Cyclic compound that has -CO-O-CO- bond in the ring. 09. Cyclic amines Cyclic compound in the ring that has -NH- bond. However, exclude the case where it is included in the atom group where this parital structure characterizes the following monomer system.    -NH- in Lactams -NH-CO-    -NH- in Cyclic imides -CO-NH-CO- 10. Cyclic carbonates Cyclic compound that has -O-CO-O- bond in the ring. 11. Cyclic ethers Cyclic compound that has -O- bond in the ring. 12. Cyclic imides Cyclic compound that has -CO-NH-CO- group (imide), -NH-CO-O- group (urethane) or -NH-CO-NH- group (urea) in the ring. 13. Cyclic iminoethers Cyclic compound that has -N=C-O- bond in the ring. 14. Cyclic_olefins Cyclic compound that has ring containing carbon multiple bond, and consists only of C and H. 15. Cyclic sulfides Cyclic compound that has S atom in the ring. 16. Lactams Cyclic compound that has -NH-CO- bond in the ring. 17. Lactones Cyclic compound that has -CO-O- bond in the ring. 18. Amino acid N-carboxy anhydrides Cyclic compound that has -O-CO-NH-C(R)-CO- bond in the ring. 19. Phosphorus_contg_cyclic_compounds Cyclic compound that has P atom in the ring. 20. Silicon containing cyclic compounds Cyclic compound that has Si atom in the ring. 3. Bifunctional monomer(polycondensation type/polyaddition type) 21. Aldehydes Compound that has aldehyde -CH=O function. 22. Amino acids (amino carboxylic acid) Amino carboxylic acid (H2N-Y-COOH, H2N-Y-COOR)(ester) derivatives. 23. Aromatic_ethers Compound with which aromatic hydrocarbon radicals are united with oxygen mutually. 24. Carbonates (carbonic acid derivatives) Carbonic acid derivatives. 25. Diamines Diamine (H2N-Y-NH2) derivatives and Polyamines. 26. Dicarboxylic_acids Dicarboxylic acid (HOOC-Y-COOH, ROOC-Y-COOR)(ester) derivatives. 27. Dihalides (dihalogenated compound) Dihalogenated compounds that don't correspond. 28. Diisocyanates Iso(thio)cyanate (-N=C=O) derivatives. 29. Diketones Diketones compounds. 30. Diols Polyol that has two free OH radicals or more. 31. Hydroxy_acids Oxy carboxylic acid (HO-Y-COOH, HO-Y-COOR)(ester) derivatives. 32. Melamines & Ureas Melamines and Urea (H2N-CO-NH2) derivatives. 33. Phenols Compound that has an aromatic hydroxyl ArOH structure. [Remarks] Ar is a aromatic hydrocarbon ring (rings) or aromatic heterocyclic ring (rings). 34. Phosphorus containing compounds Phosphorus (P) containing compounds. 35. Sulfur containing compounds Sulfur (S) containing compounds. 4. Others 36. Anilines Anilines except diamines. 37. Silane compounds Silane derivatives except Silicon containing cyclic compounds. 38. Other_monomers Other compounds whose reaction sites don't correspond. Molecular formula and Molecular weight It is a chemical formula of monomer and mass of monomer per mol.
