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.)

Mixing and blending of textile fibres?
mixing is where a fabric is made up of two or more different types of yarn so for example, you weave cotton and nylon together but each strand of fibre is only either cotton or nylon. blending is where the actual fibre you are weaving is a blend of two yarns like cotton and nylon (for example). blending is when two or more yarns are combined to produce one yarn.
