how did nylon derive it's name
Answers
Answer:
The word nylon, it’s actually quite arbitrary. DuPont itself has stated that originally the name was intended to be No-Run (that’s run as in the sense of the compound chain of the substance unravelling), but at the time there was no real justification for the claim, so it needed to be changed. It was the discoverer, Carothers, who was responsible for that. He changed the name, letter by letter, until finally the management at DuPont accept what he’d come up with – which was nylon. Unfortunately, he reportedly committed suicide prior to the name being finalised, and actually wasn’t even working on nylon in his last year of life, which casts some doubt on the veracity of that.
