In October 1938, DuPont announced the invention of the first wholly synthetic fibre ever produced. Given the trade name Nylon (which has now become a generic term), the material was actually polyhexamethylene adipamide, also known as nylon 6,6 for the presence of six carbon…
Today, May 14, is the 73rd anniversary of the nylon stocking, which was first introduced by the DuPont Company at the 1939 World’s Fair. Before nylon, stockings had been made of cotton, wool, rayon, or silk… materials which were either too bulky and warm to wear comfortably year-round or too

Fire-retardant materials should not be confused with fire-resistant materials. A fire resistant material is one that is designed to resist burning and withstand heat, however, fire-retardant materials are designed to burn slowly.
Two molecules of water are given off and the nylon is formed. Its properties are determined by the R and R’ groups in the monomers. In nylon 6,6, R = 4C and R’ = 6C alkanes, but one also has to include the two carboxyl carbons in the diacid to get the number it donates to the chain.
A simple introduction to nylon: what is it, how is it made, and what sorts of things can we use it for?
