Condensation polymers

Polyesters

Polyesters are made from either:

  • 1 monomer containing a COOH group and an OH group
  • or 2 monomers, one with 2 COOH groups- a dicarboxylic acid and one with 2 OH groups a diol

The OH and COOH groups on the monomers react to form an ester bond between the two molecules and water. Continuous bonds between the monomers
