A student was given an unknown polymer sample made either of Nylon 6,6 or poly(ethylene terephthalate): ENH -OH any port Nylon 6,6 H- Poly(ethylene terephthalate) The student measured its MW and degree of polymerization and found them to be 27,120 g/mole and 120 respectively. Which polymer is the sample made from? Oa. Nylon 6,6 b. Poly(ethylene terephthalate) c. Neither Od. Both because the sample is made of a copolymer.
