Polypropylene is a versatile polymer. It is used both as a plastic and as a fiber.
Polypropylene is also known as polypropene. Polypropene is a polymer made up of monomers of propene (an alkene). In the presence of high pressure, high heat and the use of a catalyst, these monomers undergo an addition reaction whereby the monomers are joined together into a long chain known as a polymer.
Nomenclature can be derived from "poly" meaning 'many' and "propene" the alkene with three carbon particles.
