Nylon is a generic designation for a family of synthetic polymers, more specifically aliphatic or semi-aromatic polyamides. They can be melt-processed into fibers, films or shapes.[1] the first example of nylon (nylon 6,6) was produced on february 28, 1935, by wallace carothers at dupont's research facility at the dupont experimental station.[2][3] nylon polymers have found significant commercial applications in fibers (apparel, flooring and rubber reinforcement), in shapes (molded parts for cars, electrical equipment, etc.), and in films
