HISTORY
The development of nylon6,6 was started from 1927
by means of many researchers, notably among
them W.H.Carothers. and P.Schlack
Introduction
ï‚— Nylon-6,6 is a type of polymer.
ï‚— It is commonly known as nylon.
ï‚— The IUPAC name for nylon 6,6 is- Poly[imino(1,6-
dioxohexamethylene) imnohexamethylene.
ï‚— Other name hexane-1, 6 diamine
Poly(hexamethylene adipamide), Poly[imino(1,6-
dioxohexamethylene) iminohexamethylene]
ï‚— The simple molecular formula for nylon 6,6 is -
C12H22N2O2.
ï‚— The CAS number is: 32131-17-2
ï‚— The molecular weight is: 262.345840 g/mol.
synthesis
•Materials
ï‚— Hexamethlenediamine (1,6-hexanediamine)
ï‚— Adipic acid,
ï‚— Solvent: tap water and cyclohexane.

Mechanism of preparation
ï‚— nylon is made by a reaction which is a step-
growth polymerization, and a condensation
polymerization. Nylons are made from diacids and
diamines. If you want to see what adipic acid and
