Patent Granted In chemistry, an oligomer (/əˈlɪɡəmər/) (oligo-, "a few" + -mer, "parts") is a molecular complex that consists of a few monomer units, in contrast to a polymer that, at least in principle, consists of a nearly unlimited number of monomers.[1] Dimers, trimers, and tetramers are, for instance, oligomers respectively composed of two, three and four monomers.
