Detailed explanation-1: -A condensation polymer is a polymer formed by condensation reactions. Monomers of condensation polymers must contain two functional groups so that each monomer can link up with two other monomers. One type of condensation polymer is called a polyamide.
Detailed explanation-2: -Polyamides are another type of condensation polymer, formed when an amine reacts with a carboxylic acid. A molecule of water is removed, leaving behind the amide (-CONH) linkage between the monomers. The formation of both ester bonds and amide bonds are examples of condensation reactions.
Detailed explanation-3: -The dicarboxylic acid ethanedioic acid and the diol ethanediol combine in a condensation polymerisation reaction to produce a polyester.
Detailed explanation-4: -In polymer chemistry, condensation polymers are any kind of polymers whose process of polymerization involves a condensation reaction (i.e. a small molecule, such as water or methanol, is produced as a byproduct).
