| Addition Polymerization | Condensation Polymerization |
| Monomers must have either a double bond or triple bond | Monomers must have two similar or different functional groups |
| Produces no by-products | By-products such as ammonia, water and HCl are produced |
| Addition of monomers results in polymers | Condensation of monomers result in polymers |
| The molecular weight of the resultant polymers is a multiple of monomer’s molecular weight | The molecular weight of the resultant polymer is not a multiple of monomer’s molecular weight |
| Lewis acids or bases, radical initiators are catalysts in addition polymerization | The catalysts in condensation polymerization are catalysts in condensation polymerization. |
| Common examples of addition polymerization are PVC, polyethene, Teflon etc. | Common examples of condensation polymerization are nylon, bakelite, silicon, etc. |
