Which of the following is a condensation homopolymer?

1. Nylon 6
2. Nylon 6,6
3. Dacron
4. Acrilan

Correct answer: Nylon 6

Solution

Nylon 6,6 and Dacron are condensation copolymers (two different monomers). Acrilan is an addition polymer. Only Nylon 6 uses one monomer (caprolactam) and forms via condensation, making it a condensation homopolymer.
