There are 2 types:-

Addition polymerisation is polymerisation in which monomers are joined across the double bond, for example polyethene.

Condensation polymerisation is when water is lost from the two monomers for example the polymerisation of nylon, the two monomers are a diamine and dicarboxylic acid. From the amine an H goes and combines with and OH from the acid to form water. From this reaction, 2 moles of water are lostto form nylon -NH-[ ]-NH-C=O-[ ]-C=O-

Why was addition polymerisation given its name?

Addition polymerisation is named for the process it involves, where monomers with double or triple bonds react to form a polymer without the loss of any small molecules. In this type of polymerisation, the monomers "add" together to create long chains, hence the term "addition." This contrasts with condensation polymerisation, where small molecules are released during the reaction. The name highlights the key characteristic of the reaction mechanism.

What is polymerization versus catalyst?

In polymerisation a number of monomer (basic entity of polymer) get together to form a polymer.For example carbon tetra chloride joins other molecule of latter to form teflon. Catalyst catalyse(help in completion) polymerisation reaction.
