Which factor imparts crystalline nature to a polymer like nylon?
Open in App
Solution
- Nylon are polyamide polymers.
- It consists of many monomeric units joined by
amide linkage.
- One molecule of nylon or one polymer chain gets attracted to another by intermolecular H−bonding, which is present between the two terminal groups, −C=O and −NH in nylon.
- Also, the backbone structure of nylon is regular and symmetrical. Strong intermolecular forces like hydrogen bonding lead to close packing of chains that impart crystalline character
- These factors together lead to close and symmetrical packing of molecules which imparts the crystalline nature to nylon.
