Monomer C and Monomer D react together to form a polymer. The structures of these two monomers are shown in the table below.
| Monomer C | Monomer D |
|---|---|
| HO−CH2−CH2−CH2−OH\text{HO}-\text{CH}_2-\text{CH}_2-\text{CH}_2-\text{OH}HO−CH2−CH2−CH2−OH | HOOC−CH2−CH2−CH2−COOH\text{HOOC}-\text{CH}_2-\text{CH}_2-\text{CH}_2-\text{COOH}HOOC−CH2−CH2−CH2−COOH |
Name the type of polymerisation reaction that occurs and name the other product formed during this reaction.
