POLYAMIDES

CHEMICAL REACTION https://youtu.be/MqvWYYrRPe0 (

When a dicarboxylic acid is reacted with a

diamine and has present of water, H2O, it will
produce a polyamide polymer
CLASSIFICATION

Nylon 6

Nylon 66

Nylon 11

Polyamides can be classified into different

Nylon 610 types of nylon depending on arrangement
and chemical nature of monomers.

CHARASTERISTIC

** exhibit high temperature and electrical resistance

**High strength and stiffness at high temperature
**Good impact strength, even at low temperature
**Very good flow for easy processing
**Good abrasion and wear resistance
**Excellent fuel and oil resistance
**Good fatigue resistance
**Good electrical insulating properties
**High water absorption and water equilibrium content
limits the usage
**Low dimensional stability

COMMERCIAL PRODUCT AND

USED

Polyamide is common in textiles like clothing and carpets. It also often

features in the production of items that require both strength and
flexibility, including fishing line, electrical connectors, gears, guitar picks
and strings and medical implants.
