IUPAC polymer nomenclature

IUPAC Polymer Nomenclature are standardized naming conventions for polymers set by the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC) and described in their publication "Compendium of Polymer Terminology and Nomenclature", which is also known as the "Purple Book".^[1]^[2] Both the IUPAC^[3] and Chemical Abstracts Service (CAS) make similar naming recommendations for the naming of polymers.
