Which of the following is a polyamide polymer?

Options

  1. ANylon-6,6
  2. BTeflon
  3. CBakelite
  4. DPolythene

Correct answer

A. Nylon-6,6

Step-by-step solution

Nylon-6,6 is a condensation polymer formed by the reaction of hexamethylenediamine and adipic acid. During this polymerization, amide linkages ( -CO-NH- ) are formed between the monomers. Therefore, Nylon-6,6 is classified as a polyamide polymer. Teflon (polytetrafluoroethylene) and polythene are addition polymers. Bakelite is a phenol-formaldehyde resin, which is a cross-linked condensation polymer but does not contain amide linkages. Answer: Nylon-6,6
