condensation polymer

This is, again, in contrast to condensation polymers which are bio-degradable and can be recycled.

In general, condensation polymers form more slowly than addition polymers, often requiring heat.

Nylon is another common condensation polymer.

Proteins are condensation polymers made from amino acid monomers.

Carbohydrates are also condensation polymers made from sugar monomers such as glucose and galactose.

The most commonly known condensation polymers are proteins, fabrics such as nylon, silk, or polyester.

Types of condensation polymers include polyamides, polyacetals and polyesters.

Polyesters and polyamides are examples of condensation polymers formed by step-growth polymerization.

In many condensation polymers the repeat unit contains two structural units related to the comonomers which have been polymerized.

It is biodegradable condensation polymer based on the amino acid aspartic acid.

Condensation polymers, unlike addition polymers, may be biodegradable.

Padding the material with a solution containing a condensation polymer precursor and a suitable polymerization catalyst.

In condensation polymers (see examples below), the repeat unit contains fewer atoms than the monomer or monomers from which it is formed.

Unlike most other nylons, nylon 6 is not a condensation polymer, but instead is formed by ring-opening polymerization.

Of these, addition-cured compounds are generally superior to condensation polymers, because the latter can lose accuracy through diffusional loss of byproducts.

This is in contrast to a condensation polymer which is formed by a condensation reaction where a molecule, usually water, is lost during the formation.

Extending the work of Carothers at Du Pont, he investigated the condensation polymers polyester and polyamide.

In 1847 Jons Jacob Berzelius produced the first condensation polymer, polyester, from glycerin (propanetriol) and tartaric acid.

This type of reaction is used as a basis for the making of many important polymers, for example: nylon, polyester, and other condensation polymers and various epoxies.

Polyethylene glycols (which are denoted as polyethylene oxides when the molecular weight is above about 100,000) are mixtures of condensation polymers of ethylene glycol.

Kevlar is Chemical synthesis in solution from the monomers 1,4-phenylene-diamine (P-Phenylenediamine) and terephthaloyl chloride in a Condensation polymer yielding hydrochloric acid as a byproduct.

Unsaturated polyesters are condensation polymers formed by the reaction of polyols (also known as polyhydric alcohols), organic compounds with multiple alcohol or hydroxy functional groups, with saturated or unsaturated dibasic acids.

Most step-growth polymers are also classified as condensation polymers, but not all step-growth polymers (like polyurethanes formed from isocyanate and alcohol bifunctional monomers) release condensates; in this case, we talk about addition polymers.

Condensation polymers are any kind of polymers formed through a condensation reaction-where molecules join together--losing small molecules as by-products such as water or methanol, as opposed to addition polymers which involve the reaction of unsaturated monomers.

DuPont patented nylon 6,6, so in order to compete, other companies (particularly the German BASF) developed the homopolymer nylon 6, or polycaprolactam - not a condensation polymer, but formed by a ring-opening polymerization (alternatively made by polymerizing aminocaproic acid).
