Nylon; Process, Properties and Economics

Polyamides are polymers which have Amid groups (CONH). This research deals with linear polyamides derived from aliphatic monomers, all of generic class called Nylon. These polyamides are great to make synthetic fibers. They are divided into two groups: Those made from aminocarboxylic acids and those made from diaminedicarboxylic acids. These are characterized by the number of carbon atoms in the monomeric starting material or diamine & dicarboxylic acids. In this research we survey production of nylons, their properties, economical aspects, health and environmental aspect, recycling, shipping and storage.
