polükondensatsiooniga

Polükondensatsiooniga is a chemical process where monomers react to form a polymer and a small molecule by-product, such as water or methanol. This type of polymerization differs from addition polymerization, where monomers simply add to one another without the release of any atoms. In polükondensatsiooniga, each monomer typically possesses at least two functional groups that can react with each other. These functional groups are often hydroxyl, carboxyl, or amino groups. The reaction proceeds step-by-step, with monomers linking together to form dimers, then trimers, and eventually long polymer chains. The small molecule by-product is eliminated at each step of chain growth.

The rate of polükondensatsiooniga can be influenced by factors such as temperature, catalyst concentration, and the concentration of reactants. The molecular weight of the resulting polymer is also affected by the reaction conditions. This polymerization method is widely used in the synthesis of various important polymers. Examples include polyesters, which are formed from dicarboxylic acids and diols, and polyamides, such as nylon, which are synthesized from diamines and dicarboxylic acids. Polükondensatsiooniga also plays a role in the formation of polycarbonates and phenolic resins. The versatility and control offered by polükondensatsiooniga make it a cornerstone of polymer chemistry for producing a wide range of materials with diverse applications, from textiles and packaging to engineering plastics.
