Which among the following polymers can be formed by using caprolactam monomer unit?

  • A
    Nylon-6.6
  • B
    Nylon-2-nylon-6
  • C
    Melamine polymer
  • Correct answer
    D
    Nylon-6

Solution

Caprolactam is an intermediate primarily used in the production of nylon-6 fibres and resins. Caprolactam is heated at \(533 \mathrm{~K}\) in an inert atomosphere to form nylon - 6. Figure

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