Question

What is the correct option for Nylon-$6,6$?

• A. It is a natural polymer
• B. It's monomeric unit is ethylene diamanine
• C. It has amide linkage
• D. It has glycoside linkage

Answer 1

The correct option is C It has amide linkage

Nylon comes from a family of synthetic polymers known as polyamide.

Nylon 6,6 is a polyamide made by polycondensation of adipic acid and hexamethylenediamine. The monomers are linked by the formation of amide linkage. The properties which make polyamides suitable for plastic applications are resistance to toughness, thermal stability, good appearance, resistance to chemicals etc.
