Question

Explain the effects the addition of glycerol (a triol) will have on the molecular architecture of the following polymerization reactions:

a) Condensation polymerization of terephthalic acid + ethylene glycol

b) Condensation polymerization of 6-hydroxyhexanoic acid

Definition Definition Chemical process in which one or more monomers combine to produce a very large chain-like molecule called a polymer. The functional groups present on the monomers and their steric effects are responsible for polymerization through a sequence of reactions that vary in complexity. There exists a stable covalent chemical bond between monomers that sets apart polymerization from other processes.
