Are polyesters and polyacrylates same ? Justify your answer.

Answer»

SOLUTION :Polyesters and polyacrylates are different types of polymers and differ in the following characteristics :
(i) Polyacrylates are homopolymers while the polyesters are co-polymers in nature
(ii) The MODE of synthesis of polyacrylates is addition polymerisation while that of polyesters is condensation polymerisation.
(III) Polymerisation occurs ACROSS `C = C` bond in polyacrylates where as in polyesters it is through ester LINKAGE
