There are many types of nylon, but they all are polyamides of relatively low molecular weight (at least compared to PE and PP). Generally they are manufactured by reaction of diacids and diamines, although there are other useful methods. Nylons have strong interchain interactions which result in very strong tensile strengths（抗拉强度）. For that reason their use is primarily in fibers.
PP is polypropylene. It is chemically similar to PE but is made from the monomer propylene (CH3CH=CH2). This can be prepared from fewer reactions than PE, but it is much tougher and stronger than PE, even after molding, because it has more self-crystallizing capacity. A lot of consumer goods are made from PP for this reason.

What is the meaning of polypropylene?
Polypropylene is a thermoplastic polymer used in many applications..
What is the difference between PVC and polypropylene canvas?
PVC is the most common plastic used in book covering materials, and has been used for many years. Polypropylene has become more common recently. Both of these plastics have different handling characteristics. PVC is generally considered to be easier to fold and to conform to the shape of a book more readily, while polypropylene is usually a little more rigid. Sometimes PVC will stick to itself, particularly in warmer weather. Polypropylene is well known for it's non stick characteristics, in fact it is difficult to glue and even permanent marker can be removed from it, giving it superior life and resistance to damage and marking. Polypropylene is also acid free, and is considered to be an archival plastic. PVC is known to have a low level of acidity. PVC is cheaper than PP.
Can Polypropylene be recycle?
yes

What is the difference between acrylic and polypropylene?
Acrylic is a type polymers used to make textile fiber found in things like fabrics and yarn . It can also be a type of paint. Polypropylene is a type of polymer that is used to make things like textiles, rope and carpeting. The difference between the two are its uses.
What is difference between nylon and cotton?
Cotton is natural fiber harvested from an organic, living plant, while nylon is a man - made fabric
Where can nylon rope be purchased?
Nylon rope is available at all hardware and boating supplies stores. Most ropes are made from cheaper plastic fibers like polypropylene. Nylon is reserved for places where the rope is handled and a softer feel is desired.
