Which among the following polymers can be formed by using caprolactam monomer unit?
  1. Nylon-6.6
  2. Nylon-2-nylon-6
  3. Melamine polymer
  4. Nylon-6

Solution

Caprolactam is an intermediate primarily used in the production of nylon-6 fibres and resins. Caprolactam is heated at \(533 \mathrm{~K}\) in an inert atomosphere to form nylon - 6.
