Ziegler-Natta catalysts can create, for 10 points, these compounds like neoprene, nylon, and rubber, which consist of repeating monomer units.
In statistical mechanics, these objects can be modeled as a self-avoiding random walk. The end-to-end vector of one of these objects has a Gaussian distribution, which shows that the most common value of that vector is zero. One model describing them is derived by considering a lattice in which either one of their substituents or a solution molecule occupies each cell. The correlation function for one of these exponentially decays, with an exponent equal to negative s divided by the persistence length. The freely-jointed rod and the worm-like chain can be used to model them, and solutions of them are modeled by the Flory-Huggins theory. Chain-growth and step-growth mechanisms are used to synthesize them, and tacticity describes the orientation of their substituents.
