Question

Write short notes on:-
1 ) Nylon 6
2 ) Nylon 6,6

Arpita Acharya · Answer

Nylon 6 or polycaprolactam is a polymer developed by Paul Schlack
at IG Farben to reproduce the properties of nylon 6,6 without
violating the patent on its production It is a semicrystalline
polyamide Unlike most other nylons, nylon 6 is not a condensation
polymer, but instead is formed by ring-opening polymerization; this
makes it a special case in the comparison between condensation and
addition polymers Its competition with nylon 6,6 and the example it
set have also shaped the economics of thesynthetic fiber industry
It is sold under numerous trade names including Perlon (Germany),
Nylatron, Capron, Ultramid, Akulon, Kapron (former Soviet Union and
satellite states), and Durethan
