Which of the following is a condensation polymer used as a textile fiber?
Correct answer: C. Nylon
- A. Polystyrene
- B. Polyvinyl Chloride
- C. Nylon
- D. Acrylic Resin
Explanation
The correct answer is Nylon. Nylon is a synthetic polymer known as a polyamide, which is formed through the condensation polymerization of diamines and dicarboxylic acids. It is widely used as a textile fiber due to its strength, elasticity, and resistance to abrasion and chemicals. In contrast, Polystyrene, Polyvinyl Chloride, and Acrylic Resin are not condensation polymers nor typically used as textile fibers. Polystyrene is used in packaging, PVC in construction, and acrylic resins in coatings, each serving different industrial purposes.
