Abstract
Polymer nomenclature styles and structure representation systems descr ibed, recommended, or used by Chemical Abstracts Service (CAS), the In ternational Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC), MDL Informati on Systems, Inc. (MDL), and DuPont are compared and contrasted. Struct ure-based versus source-based nomenclature and structural representati ons are discussed. The types covered in this paper (part 1 of 4) are r egular single-strand organic homo- and copolymers. Nomenclature styles and structural representations of end groups are included.
