Nylon is a condensation polymer made up of hexanedioic acid and $1,6-$diaminohexane. Which type of linkage is present in nylon?

Kevlar can be made by reacting $1,4-$diaminobenzene, ${\mathrm{H}}_2\mathrm{N}-{\mathrm{C}}_6{\mathrm{H}}_4-{\mathrm{NH}}_2$, with $1,4-$benzenedicarbonyl chloride, $\mathrm{Cl}-\left(\mathrm{O}\right)\mathrm{C}-{\mathrm{C}}_6{\mathrm{H}}_4-\mathrm{C}\left(\mathrm{O}\right)-\mathrm{Cl}$. Write the equation for the reaction of $\mathrm{n}$ molecules of $1,4-$diaminobenzene reacting with $\mathrm{n}$ molecules of $1,4-$benzenedicarbonyl chloride.
