• L.O.
• Describe condensation polymerisation forming
  polyesters.
• State the use of polyesters as fibres in
  clothing.
• Describe condensation polymerisation to form the
  polyamides nylon-6,6 and Kevlar.
• State the use of polyamides as fibres in
  clothing.

• Condensation is a reaction in which two small
  molecules react together to form a larger
  molecule, with the elimination of a small
  molecule such as water.
