Correct answer: C. Polyamide

  • A. Poly styrene
  • B. Polyester
  • C. Polyamide
  • D. Polyvinyl alcohol

Explanation

Nylon-6,6 is a synthetic polymer called a polyamide because of the characteristic monomers of amides in the backbone chainPolystyrene is a plastic. It is made up of many styrenes. Styrene is a small organic compound with the chemical formula C6H5CH=CH2.Polyester is a synthetic fabric that's usually derived from petroleum. This fabric is one of the world's most popular textiles, and it is used in thousands of different consumer and industrial applications. Chemically, polyester is a polymer primarily composed of compounds within the ester functional group.Poly is a water-soluble synthetic polymer. It has the idealized formula [CH₂CH]ₙ.
