A polymer formed by the reaction of a diamine and a diacid. Nylons are commercial polyamides characterized by toughness, solvent resistance, and sharp melting point.
a polymer containing repeated amide groups
a polymer of amino acids chemically bound by amide linkages (CONH)
a polymer that contains recurring amide groups (RCONHR) as integral parts of the main polymer chain
Tough, hard plastic known by its trade name Nylon.
The basic fiber-forming substance for nylon fiber. It is also the European term for nylon.
Polymer, usually produced by condensing a diacid and a diamine or by polymerizing cyclic lactam.
A polymer in which the structural units are linked by amide or thioamide groupings. Many polyamides are fiber forming.
The European term for nylon yarn.
chemical name of nylon-type fibres.
A molecular chain polymer made of amide (-CONH-) linkages.
A polyamide is a polymer containing monomers joined by peptide bonds. They can occur both naturally, examples being proteins, such as wool and silk, and can be made artificially, examples being Nylon, Kevlar and sodium poly(aspartate).
