👉 In chemical and polymer science, a homopolymer is a molecule or polymer consisting of identical substituents (substituted groups) in a single repeating unit. The term "homopolymerize" refers to the process by which a heteropolymer is converted into a monomer without any change in its structure. This can be achieved through various methods, including chemical synthesis and polymerization processes. In chemistry, homopolymerization refers to the conversion of a heteropolymer (a repeating
