A team of researchers at NYU have presented a new chemical reactor type that synthesizes a precursor for nylon production through electrosynthesis, rather than a thermal based reaction. The need for ...

Nylon is one of the most widely used engineering thermoplastics due to its excellent mechanical properties, such as high strength, wear resistance, and low friction. Tianjin SWKS Technology & ...

In T-shirts, stockings, shirts, and ropes – or as a component of parachutes and car tyres – polyamides are used everywhere as synthetic fibres. At the end of the 1930s, the name Nylon was coined for ...

Use of (not-so)-rare earth metals in large-scale manufacturing applications is expected to economize critical rare earth excavations. Just to be clear, not all rare earth metals are necessarily rare ...
