Can you tell the nylon fiber?
guide
Nylon was developed by an outstanding scientist in the United States, Carothers, and a research team under his leadership. It is the first synthetic fiber to appear in the world. The emergence of nylon has brought a new look to textiles. Its synthesis is a major breakthrough in the synthetic fiber industry and a very important milestone in polymer chemistry.
In 1935, a polymer was prepared from adipic acid and hexamethylenediamine. Since both components contained 6 carbon atoms, it was called polymer 66 at that time. He then melted the polymer and extruded it through an injection needle, stretching it under tension called a fiber. This fiber is polyamide 66 fiber, which was named Nylon after it was industrialized in 1939. It is the earliest synthetic fiber variety to realize industrialization.
