Condensation Polymerisation

Cards (4)

  • Condensation polymerisation is where two monomers react to produce one larger molecule, with a byproduct of water
  • Forming a Polyester
    Needs: Diol ( two -OH at both ends) + Dicarboxylic acid ( two -COOH)
  • Forming a Polyester
    Diol ( two -OH at both ends) + Dicarboxylic acid ( two -COOH) ---> Polyester
  • Forming a polyester:
    Will make a byproduct of water
    A) Dicarboxylic Acid
    B) Diol
    C) Polyester
