Which polymer is synthesized through condensation polymerization involving hexamethylenediamine and adipic acid monomers?

A. Terylene
B. Nylon 6,6✓ Correct Answer
C. Bakelite
D. Buna-S

💡 Solution & Explanation

Nylon 6,6 is a synthetic polyamide produced by the condensation copolymerization of hexamethylenediamine and adipic acid with the elimination of water molecules. Terylene is a polyester formed from ethylene glycol and terephthalic acid. Bakelite is a thermosetting phenol-formaldehyde resin formed via cross-linking reactions. Buna-S is an addition copolymer synthesized from 1,3-butadiene and styrene.
