Which polymer has 'chiral' monomer(s) ?

1. Nylon 6, 6
2. Neoprene
3. PHBV
4. Buna-N

Correct answer: PHBV

Solution

PHBV is made from 3-hydroxybutyrate and 3-hydroxyvalerate, both of which contain chiral centers in their molecular structure, leading to the formation of a polymer with chiral monomers.
