Nylon 6,6 is very essential polymer material. Which raw materials, chemical reaction and production method is use to produce 6,6 Nylon? Explain with process flow diagram. Give detail
Crud Chemicals is producing a casting resin that can be made using either (i) AA and BB monomers or (ii) an AB-type monomer {A & B represent different functional groups, like alcohol and carboxylic acids). A catalyst is added to promote polymerization in the mold. The material has many useful properties, but is deficient in heat and solvent resistance. A proposal is made to improve heat and solvent resistance by adding a tetrafunctional monomer (A4) to the mix to provide crosslinks. Unfortunately, no one in-house knows if this will work, or if the added A4 will form a gel, so they call you in as a consultant. Evaluate their idea to use A4 as a crosslinking agent for both types of polymerizations (i and ii).
