1.

Write the monomers used for preparing following polymers(i) Terylene9.(ii) Nylon 6

Answer»

1)Monomers are relatively small and simple molecules or units of a large molecule or a polymer. Monomers bond together to form a polymer. The monomers of terylene are ----1. Ethylene Glycol2. Terephthalic Acid

Terylene is a synthetic fibre used for making clothes. It is elastic, highly durable, wrinkle-free.

The acid is benzene-1,4-dicarboxylic acid (old name: terephthalic acid). The alcohol is ethane-1,2-diol (old name: ethylene glycol).

2)First of all, nylon 6 is only made from one kind of monomer, a monomer calledcaprolactam. Nylon 6,6 is made from two monomers,adipoyl chlorideandhexamethylene diamine.
