Nylon-$6,6$ is an example of elastomer.

Vedclass · Answer

(B) Elastomers are polymers that possess weak intermolecular forces of attraction,allowing them to be stretched. Nylon-$6,6$ is a fibre,not an elastomer,because it has strong intermolecular forces like hydrogen bonding. Artificial silk (rayon) is indeed derived from cellulose. Natural rubber is a polymer of isoprene ($2$-methyl-$1,3$-butadiene). Both starch and cellulose are natural polymers of glucose. Therefore,the statement that Nylon-$6,6$ is an elastomer is false.
