Answer:
“Nylon-6”.
Complete step by step answer:
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. Later, the molten mass passes through spinnerets to form fibres of nylon 6. During polymerization, the amide bond within each caprolactam molecule is broken, with the active groups on each side re-forming two new bonds as the monomer becomes part of the polymer backbone.
