  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.

  7. 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. IUPAC polymer nomenclature - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IUPAC_polymer_nomenclature

    Polymer nomenclature usually applies to idealized representations meaning minor structural irregularities are ignored. A polymer can be named in one of two ways. Source-based nomenclature can be used when the monomer can be identified. Alternatively, more explicit structure-based nomenclature can be used when the polymer structure is proven.
