polükondenseerumine
Polükondenseerumine is a type of step-growth polymerization where monomers react to form a polymer and a small molecule, such as water, methanol, or hydrogen chloride. This process involves the repeated reaction of functional groups on the monomers, leading to the formation of larger molecules. Unlike chain-growth polymerization, polükondenseerumine proceeds in stages, with monomers first reacting to form dimers, then trimers, and so on, until high molecular weight polymers are achieved. Each step in the polymerization releases a small molecule as a byproduct.
The rate of polükondenseerumine is typically slower than chain-growth polymerization and is often influenced by the
