What is Polymerization?

• Polymerization is the chemical process of joining monomers together to form a polymer.• A polymer is a combination of

monomers.

How does Polymerization happen?

• Dehydration synthesis – monomers form a bond by losing 1 molecule water H20 to become a polymer

Monomer MonomerMonomer Polymer

How does a polymer break down into monomers?

• Hydrolysis – 1 water (H20) is added to a polymer to break it apart
