New cards

what are condensation reactions?

  • two monomers with two functional groups join

  • small molecules (like water) are lost

New cards

what is the equation for condensation polymerisation?

diol + dicarboxylic acid → ester + water

differences between condensation and addition polymerisation:

  • addition polymerisation

    • monomers contains a double bond

    • only forms addition polymer

  • condensation polymerisation

    • two different types of monomers

    • make water, as well as polymer
