Kevlar is a copolymer used in bulletproof vests. It is formed in a condensation reaction between the following two monomers: Sketch a portion of the polymer chain showing several monomer units. Write the overall equation for the condensation reaction.
The polycarbonate Lexan is a condensation polymer and has the structure shown here: Assuming this polymer was formed from the monomer shown here plus another monomer, provide a structure of the other monomer that would be required to form Lexan.
