Functionality is defined as the number of bonds a monomer can make with another monomer molecule in the polymerisation reaction. Functional polymer an overview sciencedirect topics. Polymer waste is a serious burden for the environment because common organisms. Structure of polymers the time has come, the walrus said, to talk of many things. According to iupac, the functionality of a monomer is defined as the number of bonds that a monomers repeating unit forms in a polymer with other monomers. These polymers have a similar structure to the polyamides, which have the urethane carbamate group as part of the polymer backbone. Polymers are composed of nonmetallic elements, found at the upper right corner of the periodic table.
