Many countries have corresponding or feeder organizations. The entire field has recently been reviewed 1-3 and consolidated in a single compendium. There are several approaches to chemical nomenclature. The popular source-based nomenclature emphasizes the monomer name. The structure-based names are frequently more complicated.
Nomenclature extends beyond the formal names of compounds now, however.

Those sequences involving individual mers have the connective between the mers. For sequences involving long chains which are themselves polymeric, both portions take the poly- prefix.
