Differentiate between addition and condensation polymerization process.
Differentiate between addition and condensation polymerization:
Addition polymerization
|
Condensation polymerization
|
Produces by addition of monomers
|
Produces by condensation of monomers
|
Monomers must have double or triple bond
|
Monomers must have at least two similar or different functional group
|
No by product
|
Has a by-products
|
Produces thermoplastic polymers
|
Produces thermosetting polymers
|
Polymer is the integral multiple of monomers
|
Polymer is not integral multiple of monomers
|
e.g. Polypropylene
|
e.g. Bakelite
