Question
$\varepsilon$-Caprolactam.
✓
Answer
$\varepsilon$-caprolactam is used in the preparation of nylon- 6 .
When epsilon (ε)-caprolactam is heated with water at high temperature it undergoes ring opening polymerization to form the polyamide polymer called nylon-6.
The name nylon-6 is given on the basis of six carbon atoms present in the monomer unit. Nylon-6 has high tensile strength and luster, nylon-6 fibres are used for manufacture of tyre cords, fabrics and ropes.
