Polycondensation is step-growth polymerization in which joining reactions eliminate small molecules. Its chain-bearing molecule count excludes those byproducts; otherwise two chains joining while releasing one small product would misleadingly appear to conserve the counted population.[ref]
Formation of Si–O–Si linkages from silanol groups, with elimination of water or another small molecule according to the reacting functional groups.
