Usage: technical; chemistry; plural form of comon­omer

Examples

• The copolymer was synthesized from two different comonomers.
• Styrene and butadiene are comonomers used to produce synthetic rubber.
• The ratio of comonomers affects the properties of the resulting polymer.
• Researchers adjusted the comonomers to improve the material's flexibility.
• Different comonomers can be combined to create polymers with specific characteristics.
