4. IUPAC NAME polyhexano-6-lactum structure Other names- polycaprolactum , perlon , PA6 ,capron,nylatron

5. (C 6 H 11 NO) n MOLECULAR FORMULA (-CO-(CH2)5-NH-)n

6. Density 1.084   g/ml Melting point 493 k Caprolactum is a molecule used to synthesize nylon 6 by ring opening polymerisation.nylon6 or polycaprolactum is a polymer developed by PAUL SCHLACK. It is a semicrystalline polyamide unlike most other nylon,nylon6 is not a condensation polymer but instead is formed by ring opening polymerisation this makes it is a special case in the comparision btw condensation and addition polymers. It has the competition btw nylon 66 in the fibre industry. It is common in many trade names.

7. preparation Nylon 6 is prepared by ring opening polymerisation of caprolactum.It is heated about 533k in an intert atmospheric nitrogen about 4-5 hrs.The ring breaks and undergo polymerisation,the molten mass pass through spinnerts to form nylon 6 2

8. Nylon Sheet properties It has high tensile strength They are tough Has well elasticity and lustre Resistant to abrasion and chemicals such as acids & alkalies Tg value 47  °C.

9. Applications Used as thread in bristles for tooth brushes As gears ,fittings & bearings, automotive industry Threads, ropes, filaments , nets Gun frames Surgical sutures, strings for musical instruments In hosiery and knitted garments

10. Biodegradation Flavobacterium   and  Pseudomonas   degrade oligomers of Nylon 6, but not polymers. Certain white rot fungal strains can also degrade Nylon 6 through oxidation.

11. Many people hang banners for holidays and special occasions, such as birthdays or anniversaries. Creating your own banners allows you to customize them to your particular event and taste. When making banners to hang outdoors, nylon fabric can be used to stand up to the elements. Nylon fabrics come in a variety of colors, maintain their shape and resist fading over time. Nylon banners

14. Whether you are supporting your favorite sports team, drawing attention to a political issue or just displaying your own personal independence, making your own flag out of nylon is a fairly easy process and is an inexpensive way to showcase your personal style . Decorative nylon flags are very easy to customize, and they are more durable and weather-resistant than cotton...and less expensive than polyester. Nylon Flag

18.   Nylon in Medical: This is a synthetic polyamide material, which can be used in the form of:   Monofilament Multifilament   Braided The main disadvantage is that a triple knot must be tied.

19. Nylon Brush: Nylon filled industrial brushes are suitable for a range of applications from aggressive scrubbing to dusting, in both dry and wet environments. Brushes with Nylon fill offer the following characteristics in most applications: excellent fatigue life, good abrasion resistance, low to moderate absorption of water (3% to 9%) leading to only a temporary reduction in stiffness, an excellent bend recovery rate, resistance to most common solvents, and suitability for use in weak acids.
