Which one of the following polymers is prepared by addition polymerisation?

Which one of the following polymers is prepared by addition polymerisation?
A Nylon-66
B Novolac
C Dacron
D Teflon

Detailed Solution

Teflon is prepared by addition polymerisation of tetrafluoroethene: $nCF_2=CF_2 \xrightarrow[high\ pressure]{catalyst} -(CF_2-CF_2)_n-$ Nylon-66, Novolac and Dacron are prepared by condensation polymerisation.
