*NYLON=Please read the following. In 1940 John W. Eckelberry of DuPont stated that the letters "nyl" were arbitrary and the "on" was copied from the suffixes of other fibers such as cotton and rayon. A later publication by DuPont (Context, vol. 7, no. 2, 1978) explained that the name was originally intended to be "No-Run" ("run" meaning "unravel"), but was modified to avoid making such an unjustified claim and to make the word sound better. The story goes that Carothers changed one letter at a time until DuPont's management was satisfied. But he was not involved in the nylon project during the last year of his life, and committed suicide before the name was coined. There is a story that the name is a compounding of "New York" (N.Y.) and "London" (LON), but this is erroneous.

What is full form of nylon?
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.
What are the two functional groups that react to form nylon?
The two functional groups that react to form nylon are an amine group (-NH2) and a carboxylic acid group (-COOH). These groups undergo a condensation reaction to form an amide bond, resulting in the polymer known as nylon.
What type of bond in nylon?
Nylon is made from a condensation reaction between a diamine (nylon) and a diacid to form an amide bond. This type of bond is called a polyamide bond and is responsible for linking the repeating units in nylon polymers.

What are the properties of nylon?
Nylon, first introduced to the U.S. public in 1939, was initially created as a replacement for silk. It was used in military supplies, such as parachutes and ropes, and domestically in the form of nylon stockings.

Is nylon made by the chemical industry?
Yes, nylon is a synthetic polymer that is made by the chemical industry. It is produced through a process called polymerization, where monomers derived from petrochemicals are combined to form long chains of nylon molecules.
What is the difference between 1050 ballistic nylon and 2520 ballistic nylon when it comes to luggage?
well....or it is because the 1050 ballistic nylon is at his natural aspect and once time this last one is used and modified to get the form of a part of a luggage, ....ok....it become a 2520 ballistic nylon .....I think!!
Is nylon toxic?
Nylon is slightly toxic. It leaches a form of cyanide as well as other chemicals like diamine into liquids stored in nylon (or polyamid as it is called) containers. Therefore avoid nylon bottles like Baby B Safe bottles made out of this plastic. Use stainless instead.
Is nylon a common noun?
Yes, the noun 'nylon' is a common noun, a general word for a type of a strong, lightweight, elastic synthetic polymer that can be produced as filaments, sheets, or molded objects; a word for any nylon in any form.
