Which of the following polymers is obtained from -Caprolactum?

Which of the following polymers is obtained from ε\varepsilon-Caprolactum?

Options

  1. ANylon 6,6
  2. BNylon 6
  3. CNylon 2,6
  4. DNylon 1,6

Correct answer

B. Nylon 6

Step-by-step solution

ε\varepsilon-Caprolactam is a cyclic amide containing six carbon atoms.

When heated with water at high temperatures, it undergoes ring-opening polymerization to form Nylon 6.

The reaction involves the cleavage of the amide bond in the ring, leading to the formation of a linear polymer chain of repeating units of [−NH−(CH2)5−CO−]n[-\text{NH}-(\text{CH}_2)_5-\text{CO}-]_n.

Answer: Nylon 6
