The monomers of dacron are : Correct Answer Ethylene glycol and terephthalic acid

Concept:

Dacron

  • Dacron is a copolymer, strong and impact resistant. 
  • It is colourless and has high transparency.
  • It is mainly used for synthetic fibres.
  • Mixing it with various amounts of cotton gives fabrics that are durable, easily dyed and crease-resistant. 
  • It is also used for making bottles and packaging materials. 

Explanation:

Dacron is a copolymer that is formed when equimolar amounts of 1,4-benzene dicarboxylic acid ( terephthalic acid ) and 1,2-ethanediol (ethylene glycol ) react.
