There are almost limitless numbers of monomers in use for polymer manufacture. If you look at the names of polymer types you will see that monomers must come from very many basic chemical families - polyesters are made from diacids and diols, polyolefines are made from alkenes, nylons are made from diacids and diamines, polyvinyls are made from substituted ethylenes, polyacrylics are made from substituted and pure acrylic acid (propenoic acid) etc. etc etc.

Many polymers use mixed types of monomer.

ethene is the answer dont read this wrong and long thing this person above wrote.
