Polymer is made from smaller chain of smaller monomer. The list below demonstrated the types of monomers used for building polymers.

Natural Polymers

Polymer Monomer
Protein Egg Amino Acid
Carbohydrates Glucose
Natural Rubber Isoprene

 

Synthetic Polymers

Polymer Monomer
Polyethene Ethene
Polystyrene Styrene
Polypropene Propene
Polyvinyl chloride (PVC) Chloroethene
Perspex Methylmthacrylate

It is important to understand the difference between natural polymers and synthetic polymers. Natural polymers are derived from living organism while synthetic polymers are derived from chemicals.
