What is the primary structural feature necessary for a molecule to make it useful in a condensation polymerisation reaction ?

Answer»

Solution :The primary feature necessary for MONOMER UNITS to undergo condenation polymerization is that each monomer unit must have two or THREE functional groups. For example , the MONOMERS of polyester are : terephthatic acid and ethylene glycol has two `-OH` groups.

In contrast , glypal polymer can be obtained by condensation of phthalic acid or its anhydride with either ethylene glycol which has two `-OH` groups or GLYCEROL which as three `-OH` groups.
