I can explain the basic principles of condensation polymerisation.
Show transcript
Condensation polymerisation requires monomers with two functional groups.
Condensation polymers can be made of two different monomers.
A polyester is formed by reaction of a monomer with two carboxylic acid groups with a monomer with two alcohol groups.
In condensation polymerisation as well as the polymer a small molecule is formed, usually water.
Amino acids contain two functional groups and can form polypeptides and proteins.
