Types of polymerisation reactions
Polymerisation reactions can be divided into two types: addition polymerisation and condensation polymerisation
Definition of addition polymerisation
Addition polymerisation occurs when monomers that have double covalent bonds between two carbon atoms, C=C react with one another
