Identify the polymer from the following that is obtained by using one of the α\alpha-amino acids.

Options

  1. ANylon-6
  2. BPHBV
  3. CNylon₂⁻ nylon6
  4. DBakelite

Correct answer

C. Nylon₂⁻ nylon6

Step-by-step solution

Nylon-2-nylon-6 is an alternating polyamide copolymer synthesized from glycine and aminocaproic acid.

Glycine (H_2N-CH_2-COOH)isanα) is an \alpha-amino acid, whereas aminocaproic acid (H_2N-(CH_2)_5-COOH)isanϵ) is an \epsilon-amino acid.

Nylon-6 is formed from caprolactam.

PHBV is formed from 3-hydroxybutanoic acid and 3-hydroxypentanoic acid.

Bakelite is formed from phenol and formaldehyde.

Thus, Nylon-2-nylon-6 is the polymer obtained by using an α\alpha-amino acid.

Answer: Nylon₂⁻ nylon6
