Identify the polymer from the following that is obtained by using one of the -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 ( H₂N-CH₂-COOH ) is an -amino acid, whereas aminocaproic acid ( H₂N-(CH₂)₅-COOH ) is an -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 -amino acid. Answer: Nylon2- nylon6
