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

How is polymerisation carried out?

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-

What are the conditions for condensation polymerisation?

Condensation polymerization occurs when two monomers react to form a polymer, with a small molecule (often water) being produced as a byproduct. The reaction typically requires high temperatures and longer reaction times compared to addition polymerization, as well as the presence of functional groups (such as hydroxyl or carboxyl groups) on the monomers that can react to form covalent bonds.


What process joins two monomers?

Addition polymerisation


When monomers join up the process is called?

polymerisation.


Why is condensation polymerization known as step growth polymerization?

condensation polymerization takesplace in a step wise manner.In addition polymerization monomers react to form polymers and there is no biproduct formation.In condesation polymerisation, byproducts are formed in every steps called as dimer,trimer.tetramer etc...


What happens in polymerisation?

According to Sci-Tech Encyclopedia, as quoted on Answers.com, The linking of small molecules (monomers) to make larger molecules. There are two primary ways this linking occurs, condensation method, and the addition method. Both require a catalyst, such as an acid, or a heat source, depending on which method is used.
