Solution
Nylon-66 is a polymer that grows in steps. The following sequence of condensation processes results in the step-growth polymerization of the bifunctional monomers adipic acid and hexamethylenediamine.
The repeating unit of nylon-66 differs from the monomers that make it because each step entails the removal of a water molecule (H, O).
