The universal adoption of an agreed nomenclature has never been more important for the description of chemical structures in publishing and online searching. The International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC) and Chemical Abstracts Service (CAS) make similar recommendations. The main points are shown here with references to original documents. Further details can be found in the IUPAC Purple Book.

A Primer on Polymer Nomenclature: Structure-Based, Sourced-Based, and Trade Names

Polymer nomenclature is important because it is part of the language of polymer science and is needed for polymer identification, reference, and documentation. A primer on polymer nomenclature is…

Preferred names of constitutional units for use in structure-based names of polymers (IUPAC Recommendations 2016)

Abstract A list of constitutional units (CU) used for naming polymers according to IUPAC nomenclature rules is provided. This list contains CUs of commercial and well-known polymers, as well as CUs…

The Contribution of IUPAC to Polymer Science Education

Polymer education relies on generally agreed terminology and nomenclature rules. The Polymer Division of the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC) generates and recommends such…

Synthesis of Main-Chain Poly(fullerene)s from a Sterically Controlled Azomethine Ylide Cycloaddition Polymerization

Fullerene is used as a monomer in this simple method to prepare soluble, well-defined polymers. The sterically controlled azomethine ylide cycloaddition polymerization of fullerene (SACAP) yields…
