Is Orlon a Step Growth Polymer?

Polystyrene and orion , being vinyl derivative , are chain growth polymers while dacron is a step growth polymer.

Which polymers are step growth polymers?

The polyester Dacron and the polyamide Nylon 66, shown here, are two examples of synthetic condensation polymers, also known as step-growth polymers.

What are step growth polymers examples?

Some examples of polymers produced via the step growth polymerization mechanism are polyesters, polyamides, polyurethanes, etc. Because of the stepwise mechanism of step growth polymerization, a high extent of reaction is required to achieve high molecular weight.
