Interpretation:
The structure of polyester PTT that is composed by terephthalic acid and 1,3-propanediol should be determined.
Concept Introduction:
On the basis of type of polymers, polymerization reaction can be two types; addition polymerization and condensation polymerization. The addition polymerization occurs between monomer units with unsaturated bonds between carbon atoms. For example; polymerization of
Condensation polymerization occurs with those monomers which have some
