For 10 points, name these chemical molecules that are large chains of individual molecules, examples of which include polypropylene and polystyrene.
When these materials are modeled as "freely jointed" objects, they behave as rigid rods on the scale of the persistence length. Synthetic condensation, or "step growth," is one classification of these materials. "Addition" or "chaingrowth" varieties of these structures see no loss or gain of materials. Ziegler-Natta catalysts are useful in syntheses of these materials that use alkenes as a base unit.
