Give the likely structure of the polymer obtained in each of the following react
Give the likely structure of the polymer obtained in each of the following reactions. Also, tell whether these reactions are examples of chain- reaction or step-reaction polymers. (i)
- A. Nylon-6, step-reaction polymer
- B. Nylon-6, chain-reaction polymer
- C. Dacron, step- -reaction polymer
- D. Glyptal, chain-reaction polymer
Step-by-step solution
Nylon-6 is typically synthesized by ring-opening polymerization of caprolactam, which proceeds via a chain-growth mechanism (initiation, propagation, termination). This makes it a chain-reaction polymer.
