Question

The polymer, which can be stretched and retains its original status on releasing the force is ______.

Options

• Bakelite

• Nylon 6, 6

• Buna-N

• Terylene

Answer 1

The polymer, which can be stretched and retains its original status on releasing the force is Buna-N.

Explanation:

• Bakelite can be formed quickly, reducing production time.
• Nylon 6, 6 is a material with high mechanical strength, toughness, stiffness, and hardness.
• Buna-N is a synthetic rubber that can be stretched and then returned to its original state after releasing the force.
• Terylene is a very strong fibre that loses very little strength when wet. It is elastic in nature and has the ability to resist creasing.
