Condensation Polymerization
A polymerization mechanism in which a small
molecule (e.g., H2O, CH3OH, etc.) is
condensed out as a byproduct.
The thermosetting polyesters and phenol-
formaldehyde,
nylons, and PC
are produced
by condensation

Filament
The process by
which fibers are
formed from bulk
polymer material is
termed spinning.
The strength of
fibers is improved by
a post forming
process called
drawing.
