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 a negative about nylon?

Can nylon absorb heat?
Hi, believe it or not, nylon can trap heat, but not as much heat as wool or denim. I have done a project on it and it absorbs a good amount of heat. Wool absorbs more because of it's fibres and denim because of it's thickness.
Is nylon hotter or cooler to wear in comparing to cotton?
Nylon retains heat. Worn during the summer it is hot, even if you are only wearing a short dress or shirt. Cotton is the best to wear at any time. it does not absorb the heat, and allows the body to be cool even during the hottest day. Polyester is the worse. Worn in warm weather it feels as if you are wearing a winter coat.
