explain about nylon, all details, story, uses, etc ( lengthy answers please)
Answers
Nylon is a generic designation for a family of synthetic polymers, based on aliphatic or semi-aromatic polyamides. Nylon is a thermoplastic silky material that can be melt-processed into fibers, films, or shapes. It is made of repeating units linked by amide links similar to the peptide bonds in proteins. Wikipedia
Melting point: 463–624 K; 190–350 °C; 374–663 °F
Electrical conductivity (σ): 10−12 S/m
Did you know: There are many types of nylon available (e.g. Nylon 6 nylon 66, nylon 6/6-6, nylon 6/9, nylon 6/10, nylon 6/12, nylon 11, nylon 12).
Nylon is a generic designation for a family of synthetic polymers, based on aliphatic or semi-aromatic polyamides. Nylon is a thermoplastic silky material[1] that can be melt-processed into fibers, films, or shapes.[2]:2 It is made of repeating units linked by amide links[3] similar to the peptide bonds in proteins. Nylon polymers can be mixed with a wide variety of additives to achieve many different property variations. Nylon polymers have found significant commercial applications in fabric and fibers (apparel, flooring and rubber reinforcement), in shapes (molded parts for cars, electrical equipment, etc.), and in films (mostly for food packaging).[4]
Nylon was the first commercially successful synthetic thermoplastic polymer.[5] DuPont began its research project in 1927.[6] The first example of nylon (nylon 6,6) was produced using diamines on February 28, 1935, by Wallace Hume Carothers at DuPont's research facility at the DuPont Experimental Station.[7][8] In response to Carothers' work, Paul Schlack at IG Farben developed nylon 6, a different molecule based on caprolactam, on January 29, 1938.[9]:10[10]
Nylon was first used commercially in a nylon-bristled toothbrush in 1938,[11][12] followed more famously in women's stockings or "nylons" which were shown at the 1939 New York World's Fair and first sold commercially in 1940.[13] During World War II, almost all nylon production was diverted to the military for use in parachutes and parachute cord. Wartime uses of nylon and other plastics greatly increased the market for the new materials.

Hey mate here your answer
Explanation:
:nylon was first synthetic (man made) Fibre produced. It was discovered by Wallace carothers in 1935 CE. The name of nylon was derived from new york(ny) and london(lon) as it was produced in new york and London almost at the same time
