Preferred Label : pre-polymer molecule;
IUPAC definition : A macromolecule or oligomer molecule capable of entering, through reactive groups,
into further polymerization, thereby contributing more than one monomeric unit to
at least one chain of the final macromolecule. A pre-polymer molecule capable of entering
into further polymerization through reactive end-groups, often deliberately introduced,
is known as a telechelic molecule.;
