Which of the following polymer is biodegradable?

  • A
    Nylon-6, 6
  • Correct answer
    B
    Nylon-2-rylon-6
  • C
    Melarmine polymer
  • D
    Nylon-6

Solution

Biodegradable is defined as being able to be broken down by other living organisms. Nylon-2-nylon-6, dextran and $\mathrm{PHBV}$ are biodegradable, whereas nylon- 6,6 melamine polymer, nylon- 6 are non-biodegradable. Hence, the correct option is (2).
