Concept introduction:
A polymer is a large molecule that is formed of small molecules known as monomers. Step-growth
The monomers involved in step-growth condensation are generally bifunctional in nature. The monomers involved in the synthesis of the step-growth polymer are identified from the linkage formed between the monomeric units.
The condensation reaction between the dicarboxylic acid and dialcohol are used for the synthesis of polyesters. The monomer units are bonded by ester linkage is present in the polyester.
