when we polymerize nylon?

Question

the preparation of nylon is carried outwith two solvents that do not dissolve in each other with one starting material in each of the solvents. the reaction occurs at the interface of the two solvents. why is it carried out in this way? what would the result e if one solvent that dissioved both reagents were used instead?

Answer 1

You would get a beaker full of solid nylon, instead of being able to draw a long thread out from the interface between the two liquids. Putting the two reactants in different solvents keeps them apart, except at the interface.
