Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Reason behind for destruction of nylon using acids should be explained.

Concept introduction:

Nylon is a synthetic polymer, which is based on aliphatic or semi-aromatic polyamides.

Blurred answer
Students have asked these similar questions
Nylon can be destroyed easily by strong acids.Explain the chemical basis for the destruction.(Hint: The products are the starting materials of thepolymerization reaction.)
Write the chemical structure of a non-biodegradable polymer (Polystyrene) and explain (in one line), based on it's chemical structure why it has this property
Poly(lactic acid) (PLA) has received much recent attention because the lactic acid monomer [CH3CH(OH)COOH] from which it is made can be obtained from carbohydrates rather than petroleum. This makes PLA a more “environmentally friendly” polyester. (A more in-depth discussion of green polymer synthesis is presented in Chapter 30.) Draw the structure of PLA.
