Preferred Label : polycondensation;
IUPAC definition : A polymerization in which the growth of polymer chains proceeds by condensation reactions
between molecules of all degrees of polymerization.;
Scope note : the earlier term polycondensation was synonymous with condensation polymerization.
it should be noted that the current definitions of polycondensation and condensative
chain polymerization were both embraced by the earlier term polycondensation.; the growth steps are expressed by: px py¿px y l{x}¿{1,2,...};{y}¿{1,2,...}where pxand
pydenote chains of degree of polymerization x and y, respectively, and la low-molar-mass
by-product.;
