Nylon is a generic term for the polyamide type product of polymeriation of a diamine and a dicarboxylic acid. There are two monomers in this case. In the particular case of Nylon 6 patented by Dupont (produced more often in the US), the specific monomers are hexamethylene diamine and adipic acid. In the case of Nylon 6,6 (produced more often in European countries) the company BASF uses a ring opening polymerization of caprolactam.
