cellulose
a small molecule, such as water or an alcohol. This process involves the repeated condensation reaction of monomers, leading to the formation of a polymer chain and the release of the small molecule as a byproduct.
For example cellulose.

Condensation polymers
The polymerization of polylactic acid is a condensation polymerization process. It occurs when the lactic acid monomers undergo a condensation reaction, releasing water as a byproduct to form the polymer chain.
The pair of functional groups that can be part of a condensation reaction to form a polymer chain is hydroxyl (-OH) and carboxyl (-COOH) groups. The hydroxyl group provides the -OH to form water during the condensation reaction, linking monomers together to form the polymer chain.
condensation is when two monomers join and water is released and hydrolysis is the breakdown of large polymer with the addition of water
When monomers combine to form a condensation polymer, another product that is typically formed is a small molecule such as water, methanol, or hydrogen chloride. This byproduct is released during the polymerization process as the monomers link together to form the polymer chain.
Cellulose is a condensation polymer of beta D-glucose. It is made up of long chains of glucose units linked together through condensation reactions involving the elimination of water molecules. Cellulose is a major component of plant cell walls and the most abundant biopolymer on Earth.
Condensation polymerization occurs when monomers with two or more functional groups, such as -OH or -COOH, react to form a polymer chain along with the release of a small molecule like water or HCl. This reaction involves the formation of covalent bonds between monomers through condensation reactions, leading to the growth of the polymer chain. The process continues until all the monomers have reacted or the polymer reaches a desired length.
Condensation polymerisation is when two molecules of the same substance (monomer) react together to form polymer chain (like polythene) and eliminate a smaller (usually water) molecule. For example, Nylon-6 is prepared by using condensation polymerisation of ε-Caprolactum
Yes, in condensation polymerization, monomers react to form a polymer with the elimination of a small molecule such as water. This reaction continues until all the monomers have reacted or until a termination reaction stops the process.
