A free-radical mechanism is involved in one type of chain growth process used to form these molecules, examples of which include nylon and polyethylene.
Heeger, MacDiarmid, and Shirakawa won a Nobel Prize for discovering a conductive form of these molecules. The dissolution of these molecules is modeled by the Flory–Huggins lattice theory. Some of these molecules with chirality centers are isotactic. Zirconium-based metallocenes and titanium tetrachloride have been used in Ziegler-Natta catalysts for synthesizing these molecules.

For 10 points, name these large molecules that are formed by combining small molecules called monomers.
