Solution

To prepare Nylon 6,6, adipic acid and hexamethylene diamine are heated to 553 K under pressure. Nylon 6,6 is obtained by condensation polymerisation.
$n H O O C - (C H_{2})_{2} - C O O H + n H_{2} N - (C H_{2})_{6} - N H_{2} 553K - ------- \to high pressure [- C O - (C H_{2}) - 4 - C O - N H - (C H_{2})_{6} - N H -]_{n} + (2 n - 1) H_{2} O$
