Answer:
Correct Answer: 6. (b)
Solution:
Nylon-6 is prepared by ring opening polymerisation of caprolactum. It is heated about $533 \mathrm{~K}$ in an inert atmospheric nitrogen about 4-5 hrs. Nylon-6 fibres are tough, possessing high tensile strength, as well as elasticity and lustre. They are wrinkle proof and highly resistant to abrasion and chemicals such as acids and alkalis.
