Polymerisation / Addition Polymerisation and Condensation Polymerisation

Polymerisation is the process of combining monomers into a long chain molecule called polymer. There are two types of polymerisation - addition polymerisation and condensation polymerisation. Synthetic polymers are called plastics. Examples of synthetic polymers are polyethene, polypropene, polystyrene, nylon, and terylene.
