The major component of acrylic fibers is__________________?
Correct answer: B. Polyacrylonitrile
- A. Polyamides
- B. Polyacrylonitrile
- C. Polyolefins
- D. Polyesters
Explanation
Acrylic fibres are based mainly on polyacrylonitrile, whose nitrile groups give the fibre its characteristic properties. Polyamides form nylon, while polyesters form fibres such as Dacron.
