Chemistry Question on Polymers
Which is correct example of condensation polymer?
A
Nylon, Buna??
B
Teflon, Buna??
C
Nylon 6,6, Dacron
D
Neoprene, Buna??
Answer
Nylon 6,6, Dacron
Explanation
Solution
Nylon 6, 6 and dacron are the examples of condensation polymers. Condensation polymers are formed by condensation of two or more bifunctional monomers with the elimination of simple molecules like HO, NH, alcohol, etc. Dacron is formed from ethylene glycol and terephthalic acid with the removal of HO. Nylon 6, 6 is formed from hexamethylenediamine and adipic acid with the removal of HO.
