Nylon was used to make materials in the war such as parachutes and ropes.
yes
i heard there were but i am not sure
Because all of DuPont's nylon production was focused on the war effort, for parachutes, tents, etc.
Anything that could be used to produce something that soldiers needed was frequently classified as 'war materials.' This included everything from coal to iron to gasoline to rubber to nylon.
Nylon was used as a replacement for silk (which came from Japan and China) and was used in the war effort- parachutes, cannon powder bags, etc. Since it was in short supply, it was rationed to civilians.
rip stop nylon was first developed in world war two, it was used for parachutes mainly and probably blankets

Also Nylon was big hit at that time. Nylon was invented on 1939 by Wallace Carothers. After that the World War 2 happened. The soldiers had to carry their guns and stuff that they need it to survive. Such as tent, food supply, water etc. it was incredibly heavy at that time. So what they were thinking was that they changed the heavy bag to nylon. Also they used nylon parachute. It was successful. One scientist proved that the whole things that soldiers needed to care were 25 kilo per person. But it was decreased until 15kilos. It actually helped them to run faster and safer. So I would say it really help during the World War
Synthetics were used in the manufacture of rubber tires, and nylon became a substitute for silk.

Nope. Nylon was invented by duPont de Nemours company in 1938. That was about 70 years after the US Civil War.
nylon is made out of man made polymers , and was first created 28th february 1935 . It's was first used in nylon tooth brushes Nylon was intended to be a synthetic replacement for silk and substituted for it in many different products after silk became scarce during World War II. It replaced silk in military applications such as parachutes and flak vests, and was used in many types of vehicle tires. Nylon fibers are used in many applications, including fabrics, bridal veils, carpets, musical strings, and rope. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nylon

Nylon products stopped being made because the USA went into World War II
