Nylon
Nylon is a generic term for synthetic polyamides capable of forming fibres.
Amino acid polymers are designated by a single number, as Nylon : 6 for poly
(w-amino-caproic acid) or polycaprolactum.
Nylons from diamines and dibasic acids are designated by two numbers, the
first representing the diamine, and second representing acid as Nylon 6 : 6
for the polymer of hexamethylene diamine and adipic acid and Nylon 6 : 10
for that of hexamethylene diamine and sebacic acid.
