How is polymerisation carried out?

There are 2 types:- Addition polymerisation is polymerisation in which monomers are joined across the double bond, for example polyethene. Condensation polymerisation is when water is lost from the two monomers for example the polymerisation of nylon, the two monomers are a diamine and dicarboxylic acid. From the amine an H goes and combines with and OH from the acid to form water. From this reaction, 2 moles of water are lostto form nylon -NH-[ ]-NH-C=O-[ ]-C=O-

What is condensation polymerisation?

Condensation polymerisation is when two molecules of the same substance (monomer) react together to form polymer chain (like polythene) and eliminate a smaller (usually water) molecule. For example, Nylon-6 is prepared by using condensation polymerisation of ε-Caprolactum
