Q13 / 150 · MHT CET 2024 (09 May Shift 2) · Chemistry

Which from following polymers is grouped under elastomers?

  • Correct answer
    A
    Buna-S
  • B
    Nylon 6,6
  • C
    Terylene
  • D
    Polythene

Solution

Buna-S is a synthetic elastomer, also known as styrene-butadiene rubber (SBR). It has rubber-like properties and can stretch and return to its original shape, making it an elastomer. Here's a quick breakdown of the other options: - (B) Nylon 6,6: This is a nylon polymer, a type of polyamide used for fibers and engineering plastics, not an elastomer. - (C) Terylene: Also known as polyethylene terephthalate (PET), it is a thermoplastic used in fibers and films, not an elastomer. - (D) Polythene: Also called polyethylene, it's a thermoplastic polymer used in packaging, containers, etc., but not an elastomer.

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