[[Polymerisation]] may happen between:
*Identical [[monomer]]s - [[Alkene]]s to Polyalkenes
*Two different [[monomer]]s with complimantary [[Functional Group|functional groups]] at each end. - [[Ester]]s Esters to [[Polyester]]sPolyesters
*Several different [[monomer]]s of a [[Homologous Series|homologous series]] - [[Peptide]]s to [[Polypeptide]]s.
