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. Irregular single-strand organic polymers comprise a very large group that includes aftertreated (post-treated); alternati ng and other periodic; block; comb and graft; cross-linked; and dendri tic, hyperconnected (i.e. hyperbranched, hypercross-linked), and star polymers. The types covered in this paper (part 2 of 4) include aftert reated (post-treated), alternating and other periodic, and block polym ers.
