Which of the following polymers is obtained from -Caprolactum?
Which of the following polymers is obtained from -Caprolactum?
Options
- ANylon 6,6
- BNylon 6
- CNylon 2,6
- DNylon 1,6
Correct answer
B. Nylon 6
Step-by-step solution
-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 .
