Condensation Polymerisation

Outline the process of condensation polymerisation (polyester)

Polyester is a polymer that is connected by a series of ester link, monomers are

• A diol organic molecule with hydroxyl group on each end

• A dioic acid organic molecule with cabroxylic acid group on each end

The OH from carboyxlic acid and H from alcohol become water

Outline the process of condensation polymerisation (Polyamides)

Polyamide is a condensation polymer that is connected by amide links, monomers are

• Diamine an organic molecule with anime groups on either end

• A dioic acid an organic molecule with acid groups on either end

Use examples such as the formation of Dacron to describe polymerisation process
