Introduction
Non-biodegradable polymers
Polymers which do not degrade very easily.This type
of polymers create an environmental issues.
Examples are terelin, nylon 6-6, nitrile rubber,
Bakelite etc.
Condensation polymerization method
Roughly follows procedures used for low molecular weight
functional group reactions
Stoichiometric proportions of reactants chosen for desired final
properties
Can be processed with or without solvent addition
Mixed in batch reaction vessels with catalyst addition and heat
control to avoid premature gelation
Major problem is to remove condensation products by azeotropic
distillation

Advantages
The rate of polymerisation is high
Heat can be easily controlled and hence viscosity
build up is low
Conversion is almost 100%
Disadvantages
Polymer needs purification
Polymer: Polystyrene
Reaction conditions: 2 hours at 85°C
