1
New cards

what is condensation polymerisation

method for synthesising molecules

2
New cards

do condensation reactions produce by-product

yes, usually water

3
New cards

how are polyesters formed

formed by condensation polymerisation. combining monomers that contain carboxyl and hydroxyl functional group

4
New cards

what is the general reaction for the production of polyesters

dicarboxylic acid monomer + dihydroxyl monomer = polyester + water

5
New cards

define polyamides

formed when dicarboxylic monomers and diamine molecules react

6
New cards

what is nylon

polyamide

used to make hard, rigid plastics.

group of polyamides in which the monomers contain linear carbon chains
