Which one of the following is an example of step growth polymerisation?
Options
- ATeflon
- BNeoprene
- CNylon 6,6
- DBuna-S
Correct answer
C. Nylon 6,6
Step-by-step solution
Nylon 6,6 is an example of step growth polymerisation. As monomers adipic acid and hexamethylenediamine are bifunctional and form bond with the loss of simple molecules. The dimer formed also contains two functional groups, thus undergoes a series of condensation reaction in a stepwise manner.
