Chapter 27.4, Problem 16ATS

(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Draw the structure of Nylon 6.

Concept introduction:

Condensation polymer is formed by loss of small molecules like water, ammonia etc.  For condensation polymerization the monomer must be difunctionlized.  If the difunctionlized group present in the monomer is of different type means there is a possibility of polymerization to occur in intermolecular fashion.

(b)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Compare the Nylon 6 with Nylon 6, 6 for repeating units.

Concept introduction:

The repeating unit in the polymer determines which has a smaller repeating unit.  This can be found out by drawing the structure and comparing both polymers.
