Miqdaam Hamed Hassan · Accepted Answer

When 2 monomers react:
1) 2 monomers of different functional groups needed
2) A small molecule (usually water) produced as a by-product
3) Polyesters: Manmade or Biological
4) Making Polyester: monomer which has 2 hydroxyl groups (-OH) + another monomer which has 2 carboxylic groups (-COOH)
