What is the characteristic feature of step growth polymerization?

What is the characteristic feature of step growth polymerization?

Options

  1. ALoss of water molecules
  2. BRapid chain growth
  3. CUse of free radicals
  4. DFormation of linear polymers

Correct answer

A. Loss of water molecules

Step-by-step solution

Step growth polymerization involves repetitive condensation reactions between bi-functional or trifunctional monomeric units, which may result in the loss of simple molecules like water, alcohol, etc.
