Which factor imparts crystalline nature

Question:

Which factor imparts crystalline nature to a polymer like nylon?

Solution:

One molecule of Nylon can join another by intermolecular H –bonding which is present between two terminal groups –C=O and –NH. Since intermolecular H –bonding is relatively strong, it can lead to close packing of chains that impacts the crystalline character of Nylon.
