Application

Nylon, a synthetic polymer known for its versatility and strength, is primarily produced through the polymerization of specific chemical compounds. Nylon-6, in particular, is created via the ring-opening of cyclic amides or through a stepwise process known as polycondensation of amino acids. This method involves linking polymers with amide groups (-NH.CO-) and can also include the copolymerization of a molecule with two amine groups and another with two carboxylic acid groups. The resulting crystalline powder is renowned for its durability and wide-ranging applications in various industries.
