Q8 / 75 · JEE Main 2020 (05 Sep Shift 2) · Chemistry

Which one of the following polymers is not obtained by condensation polymerisation ?

  • A
    Nylon 6, 6
  • Correct answer
    B
    Buna – N
  • C
    Bakelite
  • D
    Nylon 6

Solution

Figure

The polymers made by addition polymerisation from two different monomers are termed as copolymers, e.g., Buna-S, Buna-N, etc.

Bakelite is a condensation polymer of formaldehyde and phenol . In practice, the phenol and formaldehyde are first polymerized to a small extent by using the proper choice of catalyst and temperature.

Nylon is also condensation polymer.

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