Condensation Polymerization: Formation of Polyesters

By KnowMo ChemistryFrom BoclipsOctober 18, 2025

This video is an educational guide about condensation polymerization, which is the process used to make polymers that form repeating units of different molecules by eliminating a small molecule, usually water. The video explains the difference between condensation polymerization and addition polymerization, the key components required for making a polyester, and how two different types of molecules can react to form a polymer. The video also describes the general formula for condensation polymerization and how to use it to determine the structure of the polymer that can be formed from specific monomers.
