Answer:
Nylon is odd among the following fibers.
Explanation:
Nylon is composed of high molecular weight polyamides. Nylons were developed in 1930s. Nylons contain polyamides which either made from a dicarboxylic acid and a diamine or from an amino acid. These polyamides or amino acids have ability of self-condensation.
Nylons can be used as molded parts, fibers, instruments, packaging, nylon membranes and many other purposes due to its high resistance and durability. Various types of hard, soft or flexible nylons are made with variable acids and amines.
Discovery of nylon provided the very promising and alternative option over the costlier silk for clothing and textile industry. The use of nylon was further extended in defense and helped to revolutionize the world.
