Identical monomers - Alkenes to Polyalkenes
Two different monomers with complimantary functional groups at each end. - Esters to Polyesters
Several different monomers of a homologous series - Peptides to Polypeptides.


Ethene monomers can react together in an Addition Polymerisation reaction.		Polythene (sometimes spelled Polyethene) is formed.


Tetrafluoroethene monomers can react together in an Addition Polymerisation reaction.		Polytetrafluoroethene (sometimes referred to as PTFE or by the trademark Teflon^TM) is formed.


Propene monomers can react together in an Addition Polymerisation reaction.		Polypropene is formed.


Ethandioate and Ethandiol can react together in a Condensation Polymerisation.		A Polyester is formed along with Water.


Glucose molecules react together in a Condensation Polymerisation reaction.		Starch is formed along with Water.


Glycine molecules react together in a Condensation Polymerisation reaction.		A Polypeptide (Protein) is formed along with Water. In reality Polypeptides are made of many different Peptides (Amino Acids) rather than the same one repeated.
