what type of reaction occurs in formation of terylene polymer
Answers
condensation reaction
Terylene in British
Terylene in BritishThe class of polyesters are formed by esterification reaction of a di-carboxylic acid with a diol. This reaction is called a condensation reaction because 2 molecules of water (H2O) are eliminated for every molecule of terephth.
Hope its helps you ✌✌
The type of reaction occurs in formation of terylene polymer: Condensation reaction
Explanation:
Polymer
It is a giant molecule that is formed by linkage of small units called as monomers .
Polmerisation
It is the process of formation of polymers .
Classification of polymers
Addition polymers
Condensation polymers
Addition polymers
They are formed by direct addition of monomeric units .
For example : Polythene
Condensation polymers
In it along with addition the removal of one or more small molecule also occurs .
For example : Terylene
Terylene
It is a polyester linkage polymer
It is formed by condensation of ethylene glycol and terepthalic acid
The reaction for the same is attached below .
Uses
It is blended with cotton due to its crease resistant properties .
It is used in making safety helmets etc
