Step-by-step solution
Orlon is a man-made polymer of acrylonitrile. Thus, its monomer is vinyl cyanide or Prop-2-ene-1-nitrile. Natural Rubber is obtained from latex which is a sap of a tree. Natural rubber is a polymer of isoprene. Teflon is made of a chemical compound named polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) which is a synthetic fluoropolymer. Nylon-6 is produced by ring-opening chain growth polymerisation of caprolactam in the presence of water vapour and an acid catalyst at the melt.
