Types of polymerization (Addition, Condensation)
Polymerization is the process of combining small molecules known as monomers to form a polymer. There are two main types of polymerization: addition polymerization and condensation polymerization. Examples of addition polymers include polyethylene, polypropylene, polyvinyl chloride (PVC), and polystyrene. Examples of condensation polymers include nylon, polyester, and polyurethane. In general, addition polymerization tends to produce…
