What is the structure of nylon-6, made by alkaline polymerisation of caprolactum?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The configuration of these carbons which are unchanged in the reactions, must be identical in order to get the same osazone.
(a) Nylon-6 : Another polymer of this class is nylon-6. It is a monomer of caprolactum which is obtained from cyclohexane.

It used for making tyre cords, fabrics and ropes.
(b) Nylon-6,10 : A polymer of hexamethylene diamine (six carbon atoms) and sedacic acid (ten carbon atoms).
`{:(nNH_2 - (CH_2)_6- NH_2+nCOOH- (CH_2)_8 -COOH overset(-2nH_2O)(to) (-CO-(CH_2)_8-NH-(CH_2)_6 -NH -CO-(CH_2)_8-CO-)_n),(" hexamethylene diamine sebacic acid Nylon-6,10 "):}`
These polymers are formed by the condensation of two or more monomers with the elimination of simple molecules like `H_2O,NH_3,ROH` etc.
