Question

Explain about nylon, uses of nylon and preparation of nylon?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Nylon is made when the appropriate monomers (the chemical building blocks which make up polymers) are combined to form a long chain via a condensation polymerisation reaction. The monomers for nylon 6-6 are adipic acid and hexamethylene diamine.

Explanation:

Nylon is used for for making plastic machine parts as it is low cost and long lasting. It is often commonly used in the electronics industry for its non-conductivity and heat resistance. It is used for screws, bolts, washers and nuts as well as circuit board hardware.

Molten nylon is forced through the tiny holes in a spinneret to make fibres or cast into desired shapes. 1)Nylon fibres are very strong,fairly elastic,lightweight and lustrous. 2)Nylon fibres absorb very little water,so clothes made of nylon are easy to wash and dry. 3)Nylon is wrinkle resistant.

Most nylon 6 is produced in the form of filament yarns and staple fiber yarns for the manufacture of carpets, tire cords, apparel, hosiery, upholstery, seat belts, parachutes, ropes, and industrial cords.

Nylon is made by reacting together two large molecules, diamine acid and dicarboxylic acid. They fuse together to make an even larger molecule and give off water. The large polymer formed in this case is the most common type called nylon-6,6. A giant sheet or ribbon of nylon is produced that is shredded into chips.

Nylon is also not a good fabric for you to wear either. Nylon does not absorb moisture so sweat is trapped against your skin, which creates a breeding ground for odour and fungal infection. ... An irritant known as formaldehyde is also found in nylon and has been linked to skin irritation and eye problems.

Answer 2

Answer:

Nylon is the strongest amongst all the synthetic fibres. It is the first fully synthetic polymer which is prepared from coal, water and air. Nylon is used widely for making different articles like,

• it is used to make parachutes, tents, ropes, toothbrushes etc.
• it is used to make socks and stockings as it is elastic.
• It is widely used for making clothes, carpets, etc.

Properties of Nylon

1. It melts on heating.
2. It absorbs less water.
3. It is resistant to moths and fungi.
4. It has high tensile strength.
5. It is durable.
