Summary
Polymerization is the process of combining small molecules, known as monomers, into a
Covalently bonded chain
or network, forming a polymer. Conversely, depolymerization is the
Reverse process
, where polymers are broken down into their
Constituent monomers
or
Smaller Units
, often through hydrolysis or other
Chemical Reactions
.
