Question

write name and formula for raw materials from which nylon 6,6 polymer is prepared​

Answer 1

Answer:

Nylon-6,6 is synthesised by condensation polymerisation of adipic acid and hexamethylenediamine that is by loss of water molecule. There are six carbon atoms in each of the starting materials that is adipic acid and hexamethylenediamine thus we get the name “Nylon-6,6”.

Answer 2

Explanation:

Nylon-6,6 is prepared by the condensation polymerisation of hexamethylenediamine with adipic acid under high pressure and at high temperature. The structure formulae of monomers used in the preparation of Nylon-6,6 are given below.
