The article discusses two polymerization simulators that were developed to teach students a visual representation of stepwise growth and free-radical chain polymerizations. The simulators were developed in order to understand microstructures, predict effects and formulate relevant equations. The simulators' target audience and molecular simulation models are discussed. It is suggested that the simulators present an easier learning method that is more contemporary, visual and interactive. Other simulators such as the stepwise growth are also discussed.
