Q79 / 180 · AIIMS 2012 · Chemistry

Which is correct example of condensation polymer?

  • A
    Nylon, Buna-S
  • B
    Teflon, Buna–N
  • Correct answer
    C
    Nylon 6,6, Dacron
  • D
    Neoprene, Buna–S

Solution

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 $\mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O}, \mathrm{NH}_3$, alcohol, etc. Dacron is formed from ethylene glycol and terephthalic acid with the removal of $\mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O}$. Nylon 6, 6 is formed from hexamethylenediamine and adipic acid with the removal of $\mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O}$. Figure
