Q.15 Which of the following monomers form biodegradable polymers?
(a) S-hydroxybutanoic acid+3-hydroxypentanoic acid
(b) Glycine + aminocaproic acid
(c) Ethylene glycol + phthalic acid
(d) Caprolactam
(a, b)
Biodegradable Polymer The polymers which are easily decomposed and not harmful to the environment are known as a biodegradable polymer.
e.g.
(i) PHBV is obtained by condensation polymerization of 3 hydroxybutanoic acids and 3 hxydroypentanoic acids.
(ii) Glycine and aminocaproic acid produce nylon-2 nylon-6 polymer.
