Oligomerization is a chemical process where a small number of monomer units combine to form a larger molecule called an oligomer. This process is distinct from polymerization, which involves the combination of a very large number of monomer units to form a polymer. Oligomers are typically composed of between two and ten monomer units. The specific number of repeating units is often referred to by a prefix, such as dimer for two units, trimer for three units, and tetramer for four units.
The formation of oligomers can occur through various chemical reactions, including addition reactions and condensation reactions.
