Nylon- 6,6 is an example of a polymer formed by

  • A
    chain growth polymerisation
  • B
    crossed linked polymerisation
  • C
    addition polymerisation
  • Correct answer
    D
    step growth polymerisation

Solution

Nylon-6, 6 is an example of step growth polymerisation as monomers adipic acid and hexamethylenediamine are bifunctional and form bond with the loss of simple molecules. The dimer formed also contains two functional groups, thus undergoes a series of condensations in a stepwise manner.

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'D'.
