astmelispolümerisatsiooni
Astmelispolümerisatsioon refers to a type of polymerization reaction where monomers with two or more reactive functional groups combine to form larger molecules. This process occurs in distinct steps, building the polymer chain incrementally. Unlike chain-growth polymerization, where a chain reaction is initiated and propagates rapidly, step-growth polymerization involves the reaction between functional groups of monomers, dimers, trimers, and so on, regardless of the molecular weight of the species.
The reaction typically proceeds by the condensation of two functional groups, often with the elimination of
Key characteristics of step-growth polymerization include the fact that all monomer molecules react with each other
