   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nylon_Rope_Trick

   Nylon 66 can also be produced at laboratory scale in this way. Representative procedures and equipment lists for conducting the nylon rope trick demonstration are available in literature procedures. [2] The nylon rope trick was developed as a scientific demonstration by American chemist Stephanie Kwolek, who later invented Kevlar aramid. [3]

3. Kernmantle rope - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kernmantle_rope

   A test of "single" standard rope involves tying an 80 kg (176 pound) weight to the end of a length of rope. This weight is then dropped 5 meters (16½ feet) on 2.7 meters (9 feet) of rope, with the rope running over a rounded surface simulating that of a standard carabiner. This process is repeated until the rope breaks.

6. Ropelength - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ropelength

   Can I tie a knot on a foot-long rope that is one inch thick? In terms of ropelength, this asks if there is a knot with ropelength 12 {\displaystyle 12} . The answer is no: an argument using quadrisecants shows that the ropelength of any nontrivial knot has to be at least 15.66 {\displaystyle 15.66} . [ 1 ]

7. Parachute cord - Wikipedia
