Question:
The synthesis of which of the following polymers necessitates the loss of tiny molecules on a regular basis?
Options:
Polythene
Nylon-6,6
Buna-N
Buna-S
Correct Answer:
Nylon-6,6
Explanation:
Condensation polymers are created through a series of condensation reactions between two bi-functional or tr-functional monomeric units, as well as the loss of minor molecules such as water, alcohol, and HCl. The condensation of hexamethylenediamine and adipic acid produces nylon-6,6, which is devoid of water molecules.
