When these types of monomers react they join together, usually losing small molecules such as water, and so the reactions are called condensation reactions. Use models to represent condensation polymerisation. |
|
(Chem only) What occurs during a condensation polymersiation reaction? Molymods creating the most basic condensation polymer.
GF: Create your own example of a condensation polymer. |
|
|
|
The simplest polymers are produced from two different monomers with two of the same functional groups on each monomer. |
|
(Chem only) How many functional groups does each monomer have in the simplest condensation polymerisation reactions? |
|
|
|
Students should be able to explain the basic principles of condensation polymerisation by reference to the functional groups in the monomers and the repeating units in the polymers. |
