No
Nylon 6 has a lower melting point and is more flexible, making it suitable for applications requiring elasticity like textiles. Nylon 66 has a higher melting point and better resistance to heat and chemicals, making it ideal for mechanical parts and industrial uses. Additionally, Nylon 66 has better tensile strength compared to Nylon 6.
Examples of non-recyclable fabrics include polyester, nylon, and spandex. These materials are difficult to recycle due to their composition and the processes required to break them down for reuse.
Yes - see the text at this link for confirmation http://books.google.com/books?id=7Qq_vknrP4kC&pg=PA275&lpg=PA275&dq=is+PA6+the+same+as+nylon&source=bl&ots=0m6Li0BcPn&sig=7XkO7HbBZjE-hwOKe_ySnBXtTKY&hl=en&ei=WETaSeObL4_Itge-yLDhDw&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&resnum=4
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.Nylon is a generic term for the polyamide type product of polymeriation of a diamine and a dicarboxylic acid.

Nylon 610 is a type of nylon that is derived from hexamethylenediamine and sebacic acid, while nylon 106 is not a commonly known type of nylon. The main difference is their chemical composition and properties, with nylon 610 having different characteristics compared to nylon 106.
LOI of Nylon 6 would be 20.8
nylon 6 and nylon 66 are the two most briefly divided types of nylon.
Yes, nylon 6 can be ultrasonically welded due to its thermoplastic nature and compatibility with the ultrasonic welding process. The heat generated from the ultrasonic vibrations softens the nylon 6 material, allowing it to bond with another nylon 6 surface when pressure is applied.
Of course, Nylon is a thermoplastic and can be reground to pellet size and re-processed. Similar to any thermoplastic. The main issues with Nylon are the fact that there are so many nylon materials, Nylon 6, Nylon 66, Nylon 11, Nylon 6/12, Nylon 12 and so on. In the case of Polyethylene there are only a few options Low density, Medium density, High density as well as UHMW, and the applications are very limiting. Therefore the Nylon issue is more troubling. What we use for carpet and cloths is much more dynamic when it comes to Nylon. The real answer will come from a few questions: do you have enough of one single product to recycle and is it clothing or is the product of a more rigid standard like an automotive intake manifold. The last question is what color is the product and if there is more than one the only color they would be able to make from the multi colored materials is Black.

it has 6 or 12
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.)
Nylon 6 is considered to be hydrophilic due to the presence of polar amide groups in its structure that enable it to absorb water. This hydrophilic nature can affect the material properties of nylon 6 in various applications.
No, nylon cannot be composted in traditional composting systems because it is a synthetic material made from petroleum-based products. It does not break down naturally like organic materials, and its presence can contaminate compost. Some specialized facilities might be able to recycle nylon, but for home composting, it should be disposed of in the trash.
The known value of Young's modulus for nylon typically ranges from 2 to 6 GPa, depending on the specific type of nylon and its manufacturing process.
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.
Nylon-66 is made up of hexamethylenediamine and adipic acid whereas Nylon-6 is made up of monomer called Caprolactum.
