Homopolymers are addition polymers containing repeating units made from only one kind of monomer. For example, polyethene is a homopolymer whose monomer is ethene.

Copolymers are also addition polymers. However, they contain repeating units made from two or more kinds of monomers. For example, buna-S is a copolymer whose monomers are styrene and 1,3-butadiene.
