Question

Nylon-6,6 is prepared from:
  1. A
    Hexamethylenediamine + adipic acid (condensation polymerisation)
    Correct
  2. B
    Caprolactam (ring opening)
  3. C
    Vinyl chloride (addition)
  4. D
    Styrene (addition)

Correct answer

Hexamethylenediamine + adipic acid (condensation polymerisation)

Explanation

Nylon-6,6: condensation polymer of hexamethylenediamine (H₂N(CH₂)₆NH₂) and adipic acid (HOOC(CH₂)₄COOH) with loss of water. 6,6 refers to 6 carbons in each monomer. Nylon-6 is from caprolactam alone.
