Question

Which is correct example of condensation polymer?

• A. Nylon, Buna-S
• B. Teflon, Buna-N
• C. Nylon 6,6, Dacron
• D. Neoprene, Buna-S

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

Nylon 6, 6 and dacron are the examples of condensation polymers.
Condensation polymers are formed by condensation of two or more bifunctional monomers with the elimination of simple molecules like H₂O, NH₃, alcohol, etc.
Dacron is formed from ethylene glycol and terephthalic acid with the removal of H₂O. Nylon 6, 6 is formed from hexamethylenediamine and adipic acid with the removal of H₂O.
