Which of the following polymers is used to manufacture clothes for firefighters?


A) Thiokol

B) Kevlar

C) Nomex

D) Dynel

Answer:

Option C

Explanation:

Nomex is a flame-resistant polymer and it is used to manufacture clothes for firefighters.It is prepared by condensation of

m-phenylenediamine and isopthalamide monomers.

 . Thiokol is obtained by the condensation co-polymerisation of ethylene dichloride and sodium tetrasulphide (Na2 S4). It is used as binder in solid rocket fuel.

. Kevlar is obtained by condensation co-polymerisation of terephthalic acid and 1,4- diaminobenzene.It is used for making bulletproof vests.

.  Dynel is a copolymer of acrylonitrile and vinyl chloride monomers.It is used for making synthetic hair wigs.
