Differentiate between addition and condensation polymerisation process with suitable examples.
Addition polymerization
|
Condensation polymerization
|
1)the polymerization reaction involves the joining of unsaturated monomers by breaking of bonds in a chain like manner without loss of any by products is k/as addition polymerization.
|
Many monomers molecules join together to form the polymer with the loss or elimination of a small by products such as water or methanol is k/as condensation polymerization
|
2)monomers must have at least double or triple
|
Monomers must have at least two dis similar of different functional groups.
|
3)monomers add to produce polymers
|
Monomers are condensed to produce polymers
|
4)no by product is form
|
By product is formed such as water or methanol
|
5)it produces thermoplastics
|
It produces thermosetting polymers
|
Example: pvc(poly vinyl chloride)
|
Example: formaldehyde
