As nouns the difference between oligomerization and polymerization is that oligomerization is (chemistry) the formation of an oligomer from a monomer while polymerization is (chemistry) the chemical process, normally with the aid of a catalyst, to form a polymer by bonding together multiple identical units (monomers).
Polymerization is the method of creating a synthetic polymer by combining many small monomer molecules into chain held together by covalent bonds. There are two major forms of polymerization, step growth polymerization, and chain growth polymerization. 1  The main difference between the two types of polymerization is that in chain growth polymerization, monomer molecules are added to the chain one at a time.
