    Study Notes

    Polymer Formation and Definitions

    • The polymer formed by the union of phenol and formaldehyde is called Bakelite.
    • Polymerization describes the process of linking smaller molecules (monomers) to form a long polymer chain.
    • A monomer is defined as a single, small molecule that can combine with other monomers to form a polymer.

    Polymerization Processes

    • The process in which lower molecular weight monomers are converted into higher molecular weight polymers using temperature, pressure, and a catalyst is called condensation polymerization.
    • The formation of new linkages that results from the union of two or more smaller molecules is referred to as cross-linking.
