Acrylic fibres are based largely on which monomer?
Correct answer: B. Acrylonitrile
- A. Butyl acrylate
- B. Acrylonitrile
- C. Methyl methacrylate
- D. Acrylic acid
Explanation
Acrylic fibers are primarily made from acrylonitrile, which is the main monomer due to its desirable properties such as durability and resistance to chemicals. Butyl acrylate and acrylic acid are used in other applications like adhesives and superabsorbents, while methyl methacrylate is mainly used in making acrylic glass. These different monomers cater to distinct industrial applications.
