Which of the following polymers is a condensation polymer?
A) Polystyrene
B) Teflon®
C) Polyvinylchloride
D) Polypropylene
E) Dacron®

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Dacron® is a condensation polymer, meaning it is formed by a reaction that results in the loss of a small molecule, such as water. This process is characteristic of condensation polymers, whereas addition polymers, such as polystyrene and polypropylene, are formed by adding monomer units without the loss of any molecules. Teflon® and polyvinylchloride are also addition polymers.
