Nylon-6 is prepared by linear condensation homopolymerization reaction of:

Nylon-6 is prepared by linear condensation homopolymerization reaction of:

  • A. caprolactum
  • B. hexamethylene diamine and adipic acid
  • C. 6 -aminohexanoic acid
  • D. acrylonitrile

Step-by-step solution

Nylon-6 is a polyamide formed by condensation homopolymerization of 6-aminohexanoic acid, which contains both an amino and a carboxyl group. Caprolactam undergoes ring-opening polymerization, not condensation. Hexamethylene diamine and adipic acid produce nylon-6,6. Acrylonitrile gives polyacrylonitrile.
