  2. Nylon 6 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nylon_6

    Caprolactam molecule used to synthesize Nylon 6 by ring opening polymerization. Nylon 6 or polycaprolactam is a polymer, in particular 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.

  3. Nylon 66 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nylon_66

    Nylon 66 (loosely written nylon 6-6, nylon 6/6, nylon 6,6, or nylon 6:6) is a type of polyamide or nylon. It, and nylon 6, are the two most common for textile and plastic industries. Nylon 66 is made of two monomers each containing 6 carbon atoms, hexamethylenediamine and adipic acid, which give nylon 66 its name. [1] Aside from its superior ...

  4. Nylon - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nylon

    One number after "PA" or "Nylon" indicates a homopolymer which is monadic or based on one amino acid (minus H 2 O) as monomer: PA 6 or Nylon 6: [NH−(CH 2) 5 −CO] n made from ε-caprolactam. Two numbers or sets of letters indicate a dyadic homopolymer formed from two monomers: one diamine and one dicarboxylic acid. The first number indicates ...

  5. Zytel - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zytel

    The Zytel product line is based mostly on nylon 66, but also includes grades based on nylon 6 as a matrix, long chain nylons such as nylon 610 (if based on at least one renewable monomer they are branded Zytel RS), and copolymers including a transparent resin called Zytel 330.

  6. Laurolactam - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laurolactam

    Nucleophilic attack by the monomer on the reactive protonated nitrogen, followed by successive ring-opening acylation of the primary amine results in the formation of the polyamide. [10] The ring-opening polymerization of the monomer laurinlactam initially proceeds upon addition of water in a pre-polymerization at about 300 °C under pressure ...

  8. Degree of polymerization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Degree_of_polymerization

    The degree of polymerization, or DP, is the number of monomeric units in a macromolecule or polymer or oligomer molecule. [1] [2] [3]For a homopolymer, there is only one type of monomeric unit and the number-average degree of polymerization is given by ¯ ¯ = ¯, where ¯ is the number-average molecular weight and is the molecular weight of the monomer unit.

  9. Polymer chemistry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polymer_chemistry

    Polymer chemistry is a sub-discipline of chemistry that focuses on the structures, chemical synthesis, and chemical and physical properties of polymers and macromolecules. The principles and methods used within polymer chemistry are also applicable through a wide range of other chemistry sub-disciplines like organic chemistry , analytical ...
