How can the answer be improved?

The origion of the name Nylon is lost in history, though there are several clever answers/explanations to the name The most likely answer is that Nylon was created by both New York and London scientists so they used both of the cities name NY in Nylon stands for New York and Lon are the first three letters of London.

The first example of nylon (nylon 6,6) was produced by Wallace Carothers on February 28, 1935, at DuPont’s research facility at the DuPont Experimental Station. It had all the desired properties of elasticity and strength.

Stenberg was kind enough to crop out the account name and handle from the post, but Teen Vogue reports that it was "likely a media-affiliated one." That means multiple eyes probably looked at that

Nylon was invented in the mid-1930s by Wallace Carothers, the director of DuPont’s research center. The synthetic fiber comprising three basic ingredients was called “Nylon 66” by the chemists who brought it into the world because two of its components — adipic acid and hexamethylene diamine — each contain 6 carbon atoms per molecule.

Nylon was first produced in 1935 (on February 28, if you want to be precise) by a chemist working for DuPont named Wallace Carothers. A silky thermoplastic material, there is nothing organic about nylon – it’s completely man-made.

Unlike nylon 6,6, in which the direction of the amide bond reverses at each bond, all nylon 6 amide bonds lie in the same direction. Nylon 6, in this 6 represents the monomers number of carbon atoms. In this case, the monomer is caprolactam which contains 6 carbon atoms.

Nylon 6- Nylon 6 is made from a caprolactam monomer having six carbon atoms. Hence, the name Nylon 6. Nylon 6,6 : Nylon 6,6 is comprised of two monomers, Hexamethylenediamine, and adipic acid, each providing six carbon atoms. Hence, the name Nylon 6,6.

Nylon is made from coal, petroleum, air and water. It is a man-made product, often referred to as a polymer. The materials used to make nylon are called polyamides. Nature does not produce nylon, but nature does produce the materials nylon is made from. Nylon polymer forms when two large molecules

The nylon polymer is made by reacting together two fairly large molecules using moderate heat (roughly 285°C or 545°F) and pressure in a reaction vessel called an autoclave, which is a bit like an industrial-strength kettle. One of the starting molecules is called hexane-1,6-dicarboxylic acid (also called adipic acid) and the other is known as 1,6-diaminohexane (also called hexamethylenediamine).
