"Nylon is a generic designation for a family of synthetic polymers composed of polyamides (repeating units linked by amide links).[a]
Nylon is a silk-like thermoplastic, generally made from petroleum,
that can be melt-processed into fibers, films, or shapes.: 2
Nylon polymers can be mixed with a wide variety of additives to achieve many different property variations.
Nylon polymers have found significant commercial applications in fabric and fibers (apparel, flooring and rubber reinforcement), in shapes (molded parts for cars, electrical equipment, etc.), and in films (mostly for food packaging)." - (en.wikipedia.org 12.03.2022)
