b Explain why nylon-6 can be classified as a polyamide. c Explain why some chemists classify nylon-6 as an addition polymer and not a condensation polymer. d Suggest the product of hydrolysis of nylon-6.
Polychlorinated Biphenyls (PCBs) are chemicals formed by attaching one or more chlorine atoms to a pair of connected benzene rings.   (a) Summarise the adverse health effects associated with exposure to PCBs.         (b) With a suitable illustration, explain the action of PCBs toxicity.
Poly(lactic acid) (PLA) has received much recent attention because the lactic acid monomer [CH3CH(OH)COOH] from which it is made can be obtained from carbohydrates rather than petroleum. This makes PLA a more “environmentally friendly” polyester. (A more in-depth discussion of green polymer synthesis is presented in Chapter 30.) Draw the structure of PLA.
