With very tough, high strength and tensile nylon – 6 is not a condensation polymer but a semicrystalline polyamide.

It somewhat resembles the characterstics of Nylon – 6,6.

Hi ! Praful ,

NYLON-6 is a condensation type of polymer.Nylon-6 is other wise known as polycaprolactum.These fibre are wrinkleproof, highly resistance to abbrasion such as chemicals like acids or alkali .

Nylon-6 is semicrystalline polymide used commonly in tire cord.

Nylon 6 is Condensation Polymer.It is prepared by “caprolactum” which upon conyinued heating undergoes polymerisation to give nylon 6.(It is calld nylon 6 since its monomer caprolactum contains six carbon atoms.

Nylon 6 has monomer unit caprolactum whion on heating realise H2O and form Nylon 6. So it is condensation polymer as it reales H2O. hope it clears

It is a condensation polymer as per ncert (page 427) .... As far as concerned consider it as condensatiin since ncert is the only book referred for any disputes and challenges to questions in JEE MAINS AND ADVANCE .... AND even NEET
