Understanding
Condensation
Polymers in
Chemistry
Condensation
polymers form
through the
elimination of small
molecules.
Monomers with 2 functional groups
react.
A small molecule like H2O or HCl is lost.
Reaction forms long chains.
A specific polyester
A “generic” polyester
Generik = yang umum dan tidak terkait dengan kasus atau situasi tertentu.
+ lots of water released
A specific nylon
Hexane dicarboxylic acid +
Nylon 6,6
Hexane-1,6-diamine
A “generic” nylon
Generik = yang umum dan tidak terkait dengan kasus atau situasi tertentu.
A dicarboxylic acid +
A diamine
+ lots of water (H2O)
A Nylon
So…what’s with the boxes?
So if…
= C5H10
= C2H4
They could have anything
organic inside
Or if…
C2H4
C5H10
C2H4
C5H10
Then we made this: Nylon 5,4
=
=
Then we make …
Kevlar (bullet proof vests)
