In polymers, molecular weight takes on added significance. That's because a polymer is a large molecule made up of repeating units, but how many repeating units? Thirty? A thousand? A million? Any of those possibilities might still be considered a representative of the same material, but their molecular weights would be very different, and so would their properties.

If each initiator in the process starts its own chain growing, then the ratio of monomers to intiators that we start with may tell us the chain length we will end up with. If we start with 10 monomers per initiator, but only 70% of the monomers are enchained in the reaction, then the degree of polymerization will be 7, not 10.
