Polyester Chemistry
Step 1: Create polymer and build MW of polymer chain
- Condensation Polymerization of Di-ACID and Di-ALCOHOL
- Fig 2.: Condensation reaction
- Connects one end of acid with one end of alcohol to form polyester bond.
- The opposite end of acid reacts with another free end of alcohol, and so on .
- Have water as a by-product means condensation.
- Still have unsaturated polymer. The Carbon atom has double bonds:
-
