Answer:
Caprolactam monomer
Caprolactam (CPL) is an organic compound with the formula (CH2)5C(O)NH. This colourless solid is a lactam (a cyclic amide) of caproic acid. Global demand for this compound is approximately five million tons per year, and the vast majority is used to make Nylon 6 filament, fiber, and plastics.

Caprolactam is a cylic compound, a cyclic amide of caproic acid, with the structural formula of
It is not a polymer, so there is no monomer.
However, Caprolactam is itself the starting point for the synthesis of Nylon 6, using a ring-opening polymerization, so you could say the Caprolactam is the monomer.
