Options
- A. Glyptal
- B. Novolac
- C. PHBV
- D. Dacron
Answer
B. Novolac
Step-by-step solution
Glyptal is a polyester polymer formed by the condensation of ethylene glycol and phthalic acid. PHBV (Poly -hydroxybutyrate-co- -hydroxyvalerate) is a biodegradable aliphatic polyester. Dacron (Terylene) is a polyester polymer formed by the condensation of ethylene glycol and terephthalic acid. Novolac is a linear condensation polymer of phenol and formaldehyde, which does not contain ester linkages. Therefore, it is not a polyester polymer. Answer: Novolac
