Poly(tetrafluoroethene) (PTFE) is produced via addition polymerisation, whereas polyethylene terephthalate (PET) is a polyester produced via condensation polymerisation.

Contrast the molecular structures of the monomers used to synthesise addition polymers, such as PTFE, with those used to synthesise condensation polymers, such as PET.

In your answer, refer to:

  • Carbon-carbon bonding
  • Functional groups
  • The variety of monomer types involved
