	Condensation polymer - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Condensation polymers are any class of polymers formed through a condensation reaction, releasing (or condensing) a small molecule by-product such as water or methanol, as opposed to addition polymers which involve the reaction of unsaturated monomers.
		Condensation polymerization, a form of step-growth polymerization, is a process by which two molecules join together, with the loss of a small molecule which is often water.
		The most commonly known condensation polymers are proteins, fabrics such as nylon, silk, or polyester.

	Step-growth polymerization - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		One variety of step-growth polymerization is called condensation polymerization and the product a condensation polymer because the chemical reaction by which the monomer molecules bond is often a condensation reaction that produces a small molecule byproduct.
		The relationship between the extent of the reaction and the average number of monomer units in a polymer chain is given by the Carother's equation.
		In practise the average length of the polymer chain is limited by such things as the purity of the reactants and the viscosity of the medium.

		An addition polymer is one in which the molecular formula of the repeating structural unit is identical to that of the monomer, e.g., polyethylene and polystyrene.
		A condensation polymer is one in which the repeating structural unit contains fewer atoms than that of the monomer or monomers because of the splitting off of water or some other substance, e.g., polyesters and polycarbonates.
		Polymerization, the chemical process of forming polymers from their component monomers, is often a complex process that may be initiated or sustained by heat, pressure, or the presence of one or more catalysts.

		Because polymers are distinguished by their constituent monomers, polymer chains within a substance are often not of equal length.
		The intermolecular forces in polymers are determined by dipoles in the monomer units.
		Polymers containing amide groups can form hydrogen bonds between adjacent chains; the positive hydrogen atoms in N-H groups of one chain are strongly attracted to the oxygen atoms in C=O groups on another.

		In one aspect, the invention relates to a surfactantless latex composition comprising (a) latex polymer particles comprising a residue of an ethylenically unsaturated monomer; (b) a sulfo-polyester polymer; and (c) a diol component; wherein the latex polymer particles are dispersed in a liquid continuous phase and wherein the latex composition is surfactantless.
		The resulting condensation polymer may include the latex polymer particles derived from the surfactantless latex compositions, wherein the latex polymer particles may be dispersed in the condensation polymer continuous phase, so as to form a latex/condensation polymer blend.
		As noted previously, such polymers may be formed by closely matching the refractive index of a polymer utilized as the latex polymer with the refractive index of the condensation polymer matrix.

	Condensation reaction - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A condensation reaction (also known as a dehydration reaction or dehydration synthesis when water is lost) is a chemical reaction in which two molecules or moieties react and become covalently bonded to one another by the concurrent loss of a small molecule, often water, methanol, or a type of hydrogen halide such as HCl.
		Other condensations, such as the acyloin condensation are triggered by radical or single electron transfer conditions.
		This type of reaction is used as a basis for the making of many important polymers for example: nylon, polyester and other condensation polymers and various epoxies.

		Polymers are large molecules made by forming chemical bonds among a group of smaller chemical units.
		Condensation polymers have the name because some component of the reactants is "condensed away", often the leaving species is water.
		Polymers can be made more rigid by adding bulky substituents to the monomers so that the chains have trouble sliding past each other.

		The decision to classify a polymer as branched or cross-linked is based on the extent to which the side-chains on the polymer backbone link adjacent polymer chains.
		Cross-linked polymers are insoluble in all solvents because the polymer chains are tied together by strong covalent bonds.
		Note that the repeating unit in a condensation polymer is inevitably smaller than the monomer from which it is made.
