Large polymers are formed by repetitive combinations of simple subunits called monomers.

A monomer is a molecule that, as a unit, binds chemically or supramolecularly to other molecules to form a supramolecular polymer. Large numbers of monomer units combine to form polymers in a process called polymerization.
