Similarities between esterification and neutralization reactions

An ester is formed by reacting an alcohol with an organic acid. Like ethyl alcohol with acetic acid gives ethyl acetate ester. A polymer forms by the linking together of many molecules of a monomer to form a giant molecule. For example, many molecules of ethylene can be linked together to form polyethylene.
So few similarities, except they pertain to organic compounds mostly - but you need not have carbon-based polymers. Lots of differences in that a polymer is formed by aggregation of the same monomer while an ester is formed by a reaction between two different classes of compounds.
