Biodegradable polymer which can be produced from glycine and aminocaproic acid.

Options

A. nylon 2-nylon 6
B. PHBV
C. buna-N
D. nylon-6,6

Answer

A

Explanation

Nylon-2-nylon-6
It is an alternating polymide of glycine (containing two carbon atoms) and amino caproic acid or 6-aminohexanoic acid (containing six acarbon atoms).
`underset("Glycine")(nH_(2)N)-Ch_(2)-COOH`
` underset("Amino caproic acid")(+nH_(2)N-(CH_(2))_(5)-COOHto)`
`-[NH-CH_(2)-underset("Nylone-2-nylon-6")underset(O)underset(||)C-NH-(CH_(2))_(5)-underset(O)underset(||)C-]_(n)`
It is a biadegradable step-growth copolymer.
