Question

Differences between step growth and chain polymerization

Answer 1

The main difference is this: In a step growth reaction, the growing chains may react with each other to form even longer chains. ... But in an addition polymerization, only monomers react with growing chains. Two growing chains can't join together the way they can in a step growth polymerization.
