Polymer used in orlon is:

Options

  1. APolyethene
  2. BPolycarbonate
  3. CPolyamide
  4. DPolyacrylonitrile

Correct answer

D. Polyacrylonitrile

Step-by-step solution

The addition polymerisation of acrylonitrile in presence of a peroxide catalyst leads to the formation of polyacrylonitrile. The commercial name of polyacrylonitrile is orlon (acrilan). That is, it is used as a substitute for wool in making commercial fibres as orlon or acrilan.
