The 12 pages that link to Nylon 6,6, each with the reason it gives.

• NylonBroader topic: Its alternating monomers form a widely used nylon with strong fibers.

• PolyamideBroader topic: Its alternating diamine and diacid-derived units illustrate a common polyamide chain architecture.

• PolycondensationBroader topic: Its synthesis is a canonical example of diacid–diamine polycondensation.

• Adipic acidBroader topic: Adipic acid supplies the six-carbon diacid units in this major polymer.

• Condensation polymerizationBroader topic: Its synthesis illustrates condensation between a diamine and a diacid to form a fiber-forming polymer.

• Nylon 6Compared with: It is the major nylon comparator, made from two monomers rather than caprolactam alone.

• CaprolactamCompared with: It is the major nylon counterpart to nylon 6, made from different monomers.

• CyclohexanoneBroader topic: Cyclohexanone-derived adipic acid supplies one of its two monomers.

• CyclohexeneBroader topic: Adipic acid made through cyclohexene oxidation can feed nylon 6,6 production.

• CyclohexanolNarrower topic: Adipic acid made through cyclohexanol oxidation helps supply this major synthetic fiber.

• HexamethylenediamineRelated: This polymer is the main product made from hexamethylenediamine.

• Stephanie KwolekRelated: DuPont’s nylon research established the polymer-chemistry environment in which Kwolek worked.
