Detailed explanation-1: -Polymers are broken down into monomers in a process known as hydrolysis, which means “to split water, ‘’ a reaction in which a water molecule is used during the breakdown. During these reactions, the polymer is broken into two components.
Detailed explanation-2: -Hydrolysis of Condensation Polymers. Hydrolysis is the cleavage of bonds in functional groups by reaction with water. This reaction occurs mainly in polymers that take up a lot of moisture and that have water-sensitive groups in the polymer backbone.
Detailed explanation-3: -Usually hydrolysis is a chemical process in which a molecule of water is added to a substance. Sometimes this addition causes both the substance and water molecule to split into two parts. In such reactions, one fragment of the target molecule (or parent molecule) gains a hydrogen ion.
