Which one of the following polymer is prepared by condensation polymerization?
Open in App
Solution
The correct option is B Nylon-6,6
Condensation polymers are formed through a condensation reaction, where molecules join together, losing small molecules as byproducts. For e.g., Nylon - 6,6 is formed by condensation polymerization of adipic acid and hexamethylenediamine.
Whereas Polystyrene, Teflon and Rubber all are formed by chain-growth polymerization of monomers styrene, tetrafluoroethylene and isoprene respectively.
Here, an unsaturated monomer molecule adds to the active site of a growing polymeric chain one at a time.
Option (b) is correct.
