Detailed Solution

  • Nylon 6, 6 is fibre forming solid. It possess high tensile strength. 
  • This characteristic can be attributed to the strong intermolecular forces like hydrogen bonding.
  • These strong forces also lead to close packing of chains and thus impart crystalline nature.
  • Elastomers or rubbers have the weakest intermolecular forces of attraction, while Polythenes are linear or slightly branched long chain molecules with intermediate intermolecular forces of attraction. 
  • Hence, the increasing order of the intermolecular forces of the given polymers is as follows:

           (i) Buna − S < polythene < Nylon 6, 6
