State the significance of numbers 6 and 6,6 in the polymer names nylon -6 and nylon 6,6. or in nylon 6,6 what does the designation 6,6 mean ? |
| Answer» Solution :NYLON 6 means that it is a condensation POLYMER of only one type of MONOMER molecules containing six CARBON atoms , i.e., caprolactam. Nylon 6,6, on the other hand , implies that it is a condensation polyer of two types of monomer molecules each containing six carbon atoms, i.e., adiple acid `(HOOCH_2CH_2CH_2CH_2CH_2COOH)` and hexamethylendiamine `(H_(2)NCH_(2)CH_(2)CH_(2)CH_(2)CH_(2)CH_(2)NH_(2))`. | |
