What are the 3 different condensation polymers?
Polypeptides
Polyamides
Polyesters
Define condensation polymers
Where 2 different monomers with at least 2 functional groups react together. A link is made and water is eliminated.
What are the monomers in a polyamide?
Polyamides are formed by reacting dicarboxylic acids and diamines together.
What links are formed in a polyamide?
Amide links
Draw the reaction which forms a polyamide
What are the monomers in a polyester?
Polyesters are formed by reacting dicarboxylic acids with diols together.
What links are formed in a polyester?
Ester links are formed.
Draw the reaction which forms a polyester
How do you return a condensation polymer to its monomers?
By hydrolysis
Draw the reaction for hydrolysis of a polyamide
