    Which one of the following is an example of a thermosetting polymer? [AIPMT 2014]

    A)  \[-(C{{H}_{2}}-\underset{\underset{\text{Cl}}{\mathop{|}}\,}{\mathop{C}}\,=CH-C{{H}_{2}}){{-}_{n}}\]

    B)  \[-(C{{H}_{2}}-\underset{\underset{\text{Cl}}{\mathop{|}}\,}{\mathop{C}}\,H){{-}_{n}}\]

    C)  \[-(\overset{\overset{H}{\mathop{|}}\,}{\mathop{N}}\,-{{(C{{H}_{2}})}_{6}}-\overset{\overset{\text{H}}{\mathop{|}}\,}{\mathop{N}}\,-\overset{\overset{\text{O}}{\mathop{|\,\,|}}\,}{\mathop{C}}\,-{{(C{{H}_{2}})}_{4}}-\overset{\overset{\text{O}}{\mathop{|\,\,|}}\,}{\mathop{C}}\,){{-}_{n}}\]

    D)  

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    Novolac, a condensation polymer of phenol and formaldehyde is a thermosetting polymer. Neoprene rubber \[\,-\,\,[C{{H}_{2}}-\underset{\underset{\,\text{Cl}}{\mathop{|}}\,}{\mathop{C}}\,=CH-C{{H}_{2}}]{{-}_{n}}\] and \[PVC-[C{{H}_{2}}-\underset{\underset{\text{Cl}}{\mathop{|}}\,}{\mathop{CH}}\,]{{-}_{n}}\]are thermoplastic polymers while nylon-66 \[-[NH-{{(C{{H}_{2}})}_{6}}-NH-\overset{\overset{\text{O}}{\mathop{||}}\,}{\mathop{C}}\,-(C{{H}_{2}})-\overset{\overset{\text{O}}{\mathop{||}}\,}{\mathop{C}}\,-{{(C{{H}_{2}})}_{4}}-\overset{\overset{\text{O}}{\mathop{||}}\,}{\mathop{C}}\,]{{-}_{n}}\]  is a polyamide which is commonly known as  fibre.
