Of the following which one is classified as polyester polymer?

  • Bakelite

  • Melamine

  • Nylon-66

  • Terylene

Solution

D.

The straight chain polymer is formed by 

  • hydrolysis of (CH3)SiCl followed by condensation polymerisation

  • hydrolysis of CH3SiCl3 followed by condensation polymerisation

  • hydrolysis of (CH2)2Si by the addition of the polymerization

  • hydrolysis of (CH3)2 SiCl2 followed by condensation polymerisation

Solution

D.

hydrolysis of (CH3)2 SiCl2 followed by condensation polymerisation

Question
CBSEENCH12011152

Which of the following is not condensation polymer?

  • Melamine

  • Glyptal

  • Dacron

  • Neoprene

Solution

D.

Neoprene

Condensation polymers are obtained by bifunctional molecules (monomers) with the elimination of smaller molecules whereas additional polymers are obtained from multiple bonds containing monomers. Neoprene is a polymer of chloroprene (CH2 =C(Cl)-C=CH2) so it is an addition polymer, not a condensation polymer.
