What is artificial fiber?
That would be any fibre not found in nature. Rayon and nylon are artificial fibres.
Polymer which can be processed in both fibre or plastic material is?
Nylon, polyethylene, teflon, etc. Almost any of them.
What is full form of nylon?
The "on" at the end is to allude to the ends of the names of such fibers as Cotton and Rayon, and they just picked the "nyl" because they liked the way it sounded. The story about nylon being short for New York and London is...just a story. The full form of nylon is either Nylon-6 or Nylon-6.6, depending on manufacturer. DuPont invented Nylon-6.6 and holds a patent on its manufacture. BASF wanted also to make nylon because it sells very well so they invented Nylon-6.
Worsted system and woolen system?
The systems are used to process wool from fibre into fabric.
Nylon is an example of what?
Nylon is a polyamide. There are two: nylon 6.6, which was invented by DuPont, and nylon 6, which was invented by BASF. DuPont had a patent on nylon 6.6 and wouldn't license it; BASF wanted to play in the polyamides market so they created a similar material using a different process. Of the two, nylon 6.6 has a higher melt point and is a little harder than nylon 6. Nylon 6.6 is a polymer of Hexamethylene diamine and Adipic acid (Hexadioic acid) both these compounds contain 6 carbon atoms each. so it is Nylon 6.6. (Which is true for nylon 6.6. Nylon 6 is polymerized caprolactam, so that's called Nylon 6 because caprolactam also has 6 carbon atoms.)
What is the manufacture process of nylon fibers?
The process of nylon fiber is easy. All you have to do is make it into yarn.
How is Nylon manufacturing process?
1. It is manufactured by process of chemical polymerisation into thin fibre/sheet or spun into yarn.
Is nylon recycable?
Yes, nylon is recyclable. It is a synthetic fibre which is made from simple chemicals obtained from coal. It is the first fully synthetic fibre.
Is nylon a natural fibre?
No, it is man made.
What is the trade name for nylon?
Nylon IS the tradename. Nylon is the tradename created by Dupont for a generic fibre called Polyamide
What is an example of a synthetic fibre?
Nylon is one example of a synthetic (man-made) fibre.
Which is strongest fiber is it cotton wool silk nylon?
nylon is said to be the strongest fibre..!!
Name the places where nylon are found in India?
Nylon is found in the factories because it is an artifial fibre which made factories
What was the nylon word ment for?
Nylon is the name of a synthetic fibre, used in making clothing, rope, parachutes and other stuff. The name doesn't mean anything, but was chosen to have a similar ending to "cotton", another fibre.
Fatty acid used in nylon manufacture?
Nylon is formed by the condensation of Hexamethylamine and Adipic acid.
Why ropes made of nylon used in elevators and cranes?
Nylon fibre was strong, elastic and light. It was lustrous and easy to wash. So the ropes are made up of nylon. Parachutes also made up of nylon.
What is the difference fibre and fabric?
Fibers are what fabric is made out of. The fibers can be plant, as in cotton and linen or animal, as in wool, insect, as in silk or man made, as in nylon. For the manufacture of fabric the fiber is first spun into thread or yarn, and then woven into cloth.
