Nylon is a family of synthetic polyamides known for their high strength, toughness, and chemical resistance. Developed as one of the first engineering plastics, nylons are versatile materials used in various industries due to their excellent mechanical properties, wear resistance, and low friction. They are commonly produced through condensation polymerization and are available in different grades, such as Nylon 6 and Nylon 66, tailored for specific applications. While durable and lightweight, nylons can absorb moisture, which may affect their dimensional stability. They are widely used in automotive, textiles, industrial machinery, and consumer goods
