Polymeniscous : Having numerous facets; -- said of the compound eyes of insects and crustaceans.
Polymer : Any one of two or more substances related to each other by polymerism; specifically, a substance produced from another substance by chemical polymerization.
Polymeric : Having the same percentage composition (that is, having the same elements united in the same proportion by weight), but different molecular weights; -- often used with with; thus, cyanic acid (CNOH), fulminic acid (C2N2O2H2), and cyanuric acid (C3N3O3H3), are polymeric with each other.
Polymerism : The state, quality, or relation of two or more polymeric substances. ;; The act or process of forming polymers.

Polymerization : The act or process of changing to a polymeric form; the condition resulting from such change.
Polymerize : To cause polymerization of; to produce polymers from; to increase the molecular weight of, without changing the atomic proportions; thus, certain acids polymerize aldehyde. ;; To change into another substance having the same atomic proportions, but a higher molecular weight; to undergo polymerization; thus, aldehyde polymerizes in forming paraldehyde.
