N-Nylons: Their Synthesis, Structure, and Properties

Nylons are synthetic polyamide fibers possessing unique properties. This book details the synthesis, structure, and properties of the nylon families of chemicals--some of the most important chemicals in the world. It discusses the science and properties of nylons in general, then examines each family of nylons specifically.
This book describes the synthesis, structure and properties of the polyamide family known by the common term n--nylon. Both the chemistry and physics are combined, making it a unique contribution to literature in this field. After general chapters on thermodynamics, polycondensation and crystallinity, all nylons from n=1 to n=22 are discussed in detail and the book concludes with chapters discussing the similarities of different nylons and their technologically important properties.
