enables it to act as a monomer molecule, contributing only a single monomeric unit
to a chain of the final macromolecule.^[1]

A macromonomer is a macromolecule with one end-group that enables it to act as a monomer. Macromonomers will contribute a single monomeric unit to a chain of the completed macromolecule.^[2]^[3]
