Polymers Form with the Loss of Small Molecules

CONDENSATION POLYMERS FORM WITH THE LOSS OF SMALL MOLECULES 

Adipic acid and hexamethylene-diamine polymerize to form the condensation copolymer nylon. 

Is this compound a suitable monomer for forming a condensation polymer If so, what is the structure of the polymer formed, and what small molecule is split off during the condensation  

Monomers that contain three reactive functional groups can also form polymer chains. These chains become interlocked in a rigid three-dimensional network that lends considerable strength and durability to the lolymer. Once formed. 

I he chemical composition of a I polymer has a significant effect X on its macroscopic properties. To see this for yourself, place a drop of water on a new plastic sandwich bag, and then tilt the bag vertically so that the drop races off. Observe the behavior of the water carefully. Now race a drop of water off afreshly pulled strip of plastic food wrap. How does the behavior of the drop on the wrap compare with the behavior of the drop on the sandwich bag
