Question

Which of the following is a co-polymer ?

• A. Polytetrafluoroethylene
• B. Polyvinyl chloride
• C. Polyethylene
• D. Nylon - $6,6$
• E. Natural rubber

Answer 1

The correct option is D Nylon - $6,6$

A polymer derived from more than one species of monomer is a co-polymer e.g. Nylon - $6,6$.

All others are formed by following single monomers:

Polytetrafluoroethylene - tetrafluoroethylene,

Polyvinyl chloride - vinyl chloride,

Polyethylene - ethylene and

Natural rubber or polyisoprene - isoprene ($2$-methyl-$1,3$-butadiene).
