Both HDPE (high density polyethene) and LDPE (low density polyethene) are produced by the polymerization of ethene.

An alternative method of polymerizing molecules is condensation polymerization. One of the earliest condensation polymers was nylon-6. A short section of the polymer chain of nylon-6 is shown below.

M18/4/CHEMI/HP3/ENG/TZ1/04.c
