Question

reaction of formation of Nylon 6​

Answer 1

Answer:

Nylon 6 is synthesized by ring-opening polymerization of caprolactam.

Explanation:

When caprolactam is heated at about 533 K in an inert atmosphere of nitrogen for about 4–5 hours, the ring breaks and undergoes polymerization. Then the molten mass is passed through spinnerets to form fibres of nylon 6.

Chemical formula: (C6H11NO)n

Autoignition temperature: 434 °C; 813 °F; 707 K

Melting point: 220 °C (493 K)

CAS Number: 25038-54-4
