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 process of forming larger macromolecules from simpler sub-units known as monomers. The two major types of polymerization are addition polymerization and condensation polymerization. In addition polymerization, electrons from a double-bond are used to form bonds between other monomers, like in the process used to make polyethylene.
