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.)
Whats is the strongest rope?
Ropes are classified in 2 categories. The first is synthetic or natural materials such as cotton or hemp. The other type is non-synthetic rope which is made from non natural materials such as polypropylene, nylon, and polyesters. Synthetic fibre ropes are significantly stronger than natural fibers, but also have disadvantages.
How are natural fibres different from synthetic fibres?
Synthetic Fibres: Pros -Easy to wash -Most are resilient -Hydrophobic (hates water) -Nylon and polyester are thermoplastic -Cheap (e.g. Acrylic is a cheaper substitute of wool) -Strong & Hardwearing -Nylon is waterproof when closely woven Cons -High Static -Not Absorbent Natural Fibres: Pros -Absorbent -Low Static -Wool and Silk are resilient -Wool and Silk are warm to wear -Cotton and Linen are cool to wear -Strong and Stronger when wet Cons -Cotton and Linen crease easily -Cotton: damaged by sunlight and mildew -Silk is very delicate and therefore is quite difficult to wash/dry etc, it scorches easily as well -Some people think wool is itchy -Some people think linen is uncomfortable to wear If you have a blend of fibres they can cancel each other out. Depending on what you need the fibre for will depend on which fibre you use. I hope this helps :)
Why are synthetic fibers more preferred than natural fibers?
synthetic fibres are more durable and stronger than natural fibres. But they are not suitable for hot weather as they do not allow air to pass through them.

Why is thicker nylon stronger than thinner?
Thicker nylon is strong than thinner nylon. This is because thicker nylon has more fibers than thinner nylon, and therefore more fibers that would have to rip before there is a hole in the fabric. The more fibers, the stronger the fabric is.
