The formation of terylene (or Dacron) from ethylene glycol and terephthalic acid is __________ .
- A a condensation polymerization reaction
- B an anionic polymerization reaction
- C an addition polymerization reaction
- D a cationic polymerization reaction
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(A) a condensation polymerization reaction
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
Condensation polymerization takes place between two bifunctional monomers, which results in the formation of high molecular mass condensation polymer. Dacron is obtained by the condensation polymerisation of ethylene glycol and terephthalic acid. It is an example of polyester.
