Nylon Plastics Handbook
This handbook addresses nylon plastics technology, including blending and toughening. State-of-the-art analytical techniques, transition phenomena, and structural details are fully discussed.
Synthetic Fibres
Synthetic fibres account for about half of all fibre usage, with applications in every field of fibre and textile technology. Although many classes of fibre based on synthetic polymers have been evaluated as potentially valuable commercial products, four of them - nylon, polyester, acrylic and polyolefin - dominate the market. These four account for approximately 98% by volume of synthetic fibre production, with polyester alone accounting for around 60%.Synthetic fibres: nylon, polyester, acrylic, polyolefin provides a brief history of the early evaluations that led to this situation, then looks in detail at the development and present status of each class in four substantial chapters. Synthesis of chemical intermediates, polymerisation methods, fibre spinning and orientation technology, texturing techniques, production of microfibres, and chemical variants, e.g. for modified dyeability, are considered in detail. This comprehensive and accessible book will appeal to textile technologists in industrial and academic research, chemical and synthetic fibre suppliers, and yarn and fabric manufacturers. - Comprehensive overview of four major fibres
Nylon
In Nylon: The Story of a Fashion Revolution, Handley folds together an array of topics: the role of technology in modern life, the changing nature of popular taste, the fortunes of the late-twentieth-century garment industry, and the design innovations and artistry that synthetics permit, even encourage. Handley tells behind-the-scenes stories about companies like DuPont (inventors of Nylon, the first pure synthetic fabric) and its competitors and imitators. She introduces readers to the world of clothing design and manufacture, tracing the development of fabrics from the semisynthetic "Art Silk" early in the century to polyester, Lycra, and the newest technological fibers and desirable weaves. She examines the advertising strategies that played on and built up consumer expectations. And she describes a not-too-distant future of interactive textiles, solar units, intelligent jackets, and the "wearable office."
Nylon
Modern, bright photography and age-appropriate text engage young learners in an exploration of everyday materials in this new series. Using simple, colorful, familiar objects to demonstrate the characteristics of such textiles as silk, cotton, wool, and nylon, each installment encourages readers to ask and answer questions and to plan and conduct simple investigations. Based on National Science Education Standards, this series is an ideal supplement for preschool and kindergarten teachers and offers parents a unique opportunity to prepare youngsters for formal education. Words to know, interesting facts, and fun photography help early learners explore the properties of nylon. Asking such questions as What is nylon and where do we get it? and Why is nylon slippery?, this book uses scientific inquiry to determine the characteristics that make it different from other textiles.
Nylon 6 Production from Caprolactam - Cost Analysis - Nylon 6 E12A
This report presents a cost analysis of Nylon 6 production from caprolactam. The process examined is a typical continuous polymerization of caprolactam, carried out in two stages, similar to technologies developed/licensed by Thyssenkrupp (Uhde Inventa-Fischer) and Air Liquide (Lurgi Zimmer). The final product obtained is Nylon 6 chips. This report was developed based essentially on the following reference(s): (1) "Polyamides, General," Kirk-Othmer Encyclopedia of Chemical Technology, 5th edition (2) Chemistry of Petrochemical Processes, 2nd edition Keywords: Ring Opening Polymerization, Continuous Process, Caprolactam, Lurgi Zimmer, Uhde Inventa-Fischer
Enough for One Lifetime
This is a story of invention and chemistry and the ineluctable fate of the inventor of nylon. Wallace Carothers was hired by DuPont in 1928 to lead a program called basic research. Carothers brought a passion to his work, and wanted to synthesize large molecules that would challenge Emil Fischer's largest molecule of 4200 molecular weight. In a burst of creativity in the spring of 1930, Carothers gave us our first truly synthetic rubber and fiber. The rubber quickly became neoprene; the fiber, in time, led to nylon. Carothers took an infant science called polymer chemistry, defined it, and guided it toward its present maturity. He gave us condensation polymerization. Hermes tells Carothers' ...
Nylon 6, 6 Production - Cost Analysis - Nylon 66 E11A
This report presents a cost analysis of Nylon 6,6 production from adipic acid and hexamethylenediamine (HMDA). The process examined is a typical batch polymerization process. This report was developed based essentially on the following reference(s): Keywords: Batch Process, Lurgi Zimmer, Uhde Inventa-Fischer, Polycondensation
Working with Nylon
Illustrated with diagrams and property charts, this booklet introduces the non-scientist to the mainstream world of vinyl plastics manufacturing. It provides information on the vinyl plastic family's chemical composition, product applications, physical properties, and common trade names. It also includes a glossary of terms.
Nylon and Bombs
What do nylon stockings and atomic bombs have in common? DuPont. The chemical firm of DuPont de Nemours pioneered the development of both nylon and plutonium, playing an important role in the rise of mass consumption and the emergence of the notorious “military-industrial complex.” In this fascinating account of the lives and careers of Du Pont’s chemical engineers, Pap A. Ndiaye deftly illustrates the contribution of industry to the genesis of a dominant post–World War II “American model” connecting prosperity with security. The consumer and military dimensions of twentieth-century American history are often studied separately. Ndiaye reunites them by examining Du Pont's development of nylon, which symbolized a new way of life, and plutonium, which was synonymous with annihilation. Reflecting on the experiences and contributions of the company's engineers and physicists, Ndiaye traces Du Pont's transformation into one of the corporate models of American success.
