Work Step by Step
1
The two major types of reaction processes that form synthetic polymers lend their
names to the resulting classes of polymer—addition and condensation.
2
Addition polymers form when monomers undergo an addition reaction with one
another. These substances are also called chain-reaction (or chain-growth) polymers
because as each monomer adds to the chain, it forms a new reactive site to continue
the process.
3
The monomers of condensation polymers must have two functional groups; we can
designate such a monomer as A-R-B (where A and B may or may not be the
same, and R is the rest of the molecule).
