Tacticity
the stereochemical arrangement of the units in the main chain of a polymer.
Polymers can be classified in two ways as give below:
1.Classification based on source of availability.
2.Classification based on method of synthesis.

Tacticity is the relative stereochemistry of adjacent chiral centers within a macromolecule. The practical significance of tacticity rests on the effects on the physical properties of the polymer. The regularity of the macromolecular structure influences the degree to which it has rigid, crystalline long range order or flexible, amorphous long range disorder. Precise knowledge of tacticity of a polymer also helps understanding at what temperature a polymer melts, how soluble it is in a solvent and its mechanical properties.
