Abstract

Production, properties and tensile failure behaviour of various nylons, in particular nylon 6 and nylon 6.6, are discussed. The chapter starts with a brief discussion on raw materials and mechanisms of polymerisation for nylon 6 and nylon 6.6. Fibre manufacturing sequences, including melt spinning, drawing and other processes, are discussed at length and fibre structure and properties of nylon 6 and nylon 6.6 are critically reviewed. A section in the chapter is dedicated to describing the preparation and properties of commercially available nylons other than nylon 6 and nylon 6.6. In a separate section, tensile fracture and fatigue failure of nylon 6 and nylon 6.6 fibres are analysed. The chapter also deals with market trends and various applications of nylon 6 and nylon 6.6 fibres.
