Which one of the following polymers is not obtained by condensation polymerisation ?
Options
- ANylon 6, 6
- BBuna – N
- CBakelite
- DNylon 6
Correct answer
B. Buna – N
Step-by-step solution
The polymers made by addition polymerisation from two different monomers are termed as copolymers, e.g., Buna-S, Buna-N, etc. Bakelite is a condensation polymer of formaldehyde and phenol . In practice, the phenol and formaldehyde are first polymerized to a small extent by using the proper choice of catalyst and temperature. Nylon is also condensation polymer.
