Nylon-6,6 is formed by condensation of adipic acid with

  • A.ethylene glycol
  • B.terephthalic acid
  • C.hexamethylenediamine
  • D.caprolactam

Answer: C

Correct answer: hexamethylenediamine

Nylon-6,6 condenses adipic acid, a six-carbon diacid, with hexamethylenediamine, a six-carbon diamine - hence the two sixes in the name. Each condensation eliminates a molecule of water and forms an amide linkage. The regular chain and the hydrogen bonding between the amide groups give the crystallinity and the strength that make it a fibre.
