The process of condensation polymerization takes place in the following manner.

$\begin{array}{ccc}\text{A}+\text{B}& \stackrel{\text{Condense}}{\to }& \text{A}-\text{B}\\ \text{Monomers}& & \text{Dimer}\end{array}$

$\text{A}-\text{B}+\text{A}\stackrel{\text{Condense}}{\to }\text{A}-\text{B}-\text{A}$

$\text{A}-\text{B}-\text{A}+\text{B}\to \text{A}-\text{B}-\text{A}-\text{B}$

In this process no initiator is required and it is also called step growth polymerization.
