2 inch ( 50 mm ) Nylon webbing as used in auto racing harnessesWebbing is a strong fabric woven as a flat strip or tube of varying width and fibres often used in place of rope.

Nylon and polyester webbing are used a great deal in auto racing safety for a large variety of items.

Nylon webbing leash, a common style

Nylon webbing, on the other hand, is flat, and usually " tubular " in construction, meaning that it is spiral-woven, and has a hollow core.

Nylon strings also have a much lower tension than steel strings, as do the predecessors to nylon strings, gut strings ( made from ox or sheep gut ).

* Seaford, Delaware, the " Nylon Capital of the World ," is also the largest city in Sussex County.

Synthetic materials such as Nylon and Dacron were followed by advanced sail cloths made from exotic material yarns such as Aramid ( e. g. Twaron, Technora or kevlar ), carbon fibre, HMPE ( e. g. Spectra / Dyneema ), Zylon ( PBO ) and Vectran ( see also Sailcloth ).

Nylon was formerly used and though only polyester is used now, the type is still also known as a nylon zipper.

Billy Joel has also on occasion tapped Grusin for horn and string arrangements-Grusin arranged the horns on " Half A Mile Away " for Joel's " 52nd Street " album, and contributed horn and string arrangements to Joel's 1982 concept album " The Nylon Curtain.

Nylon cat leashes and harnesses are however more elastic and thus more comfortable and also provide more control.

Guardia ’ s military and Nacional Police personnel were also issued with flak jackets, either the Ballistic Nylon US M-1952 and M-1952 / 69 ‘ Half-collar ’ versions or the Israeli-produced Kevlar Rabintex Ltd.

American sociologist David Riesman coined the term “ Operation Abundance ” also known as the “ Nylon War ” which predicted “ Russian people would not long tolerate masters who gave them tanks and spies instead of vacuum cleaners and beauty parlors .” The Soviets would have to produce more consumer goods to quell mass discontent.

Nylon or Nylons may also refer to:

Nylon, who was swaying through the halls like a raving madman, is also crushed to death.

She has also served as creative director for Nylon magazine, designed clothing, and supported funding for breast cancer organizations and other charities.

In addition to The Nation and Slates " The Big Money ", Featherstone's writing has also appeared in Lingua Franca, San Francisco Bay Guardian, Left Business Observer, Dissent, Sydney Morning Herald, Columbia Journalism Review, The New York Times, The Washington Post, Newsday, In These Times, Ms., Salon. com, Nerve, Us, Nylon, and Rolling Stone.

Perhaps the most accessible examples of this are composites with an organic matrix and ceramic aggregate, such as asphalt concrete (" tarmac ") and filled plastic ( i. e., Nylon mixed with powdered glass ), although most metal matrix composites also benefit from this effect.

Nylon zip ties are also commonly used in applications where the shackle must be secured, but easy removal is required.

He also uses Vater 5B Nylon sticks.

It can also be used in gun frames, such as those used by Glock, which are made with a composite of Nylon 6 and other polymers.

PEN is also used for manufacturing high performance fibers that have very high modulus and better dimensional stability than Polyester or Nylon fibers.

Nylon for example, will degrade and crack rapidly if exposed to strong acids, a phenomenon well known to those who accidentally spill acid onto their shirts or tights.

The first film to be produced by Natural Nylon was David Cronenberg's eXistenZ ( 1999 ) which was followed by Nora ( 2000 ), XX / XY ( 2002 ), Owning Mahowny ( 2003 ), To Kill a King ( 2003 ), and Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow ( 2004 ).

Nylon frames are usually used for protection eyewear for sports because of their lightweight and flexible properties.

Anti-rockers are usually made of Nylon, or a substantially harder urethane than normal wheels, which means if a skater were to catch either of their center wheels on the grinding surface, they are less likely to be slowed or halted by friction between the wheel and rail or ledge.

Nylon was first introduced around 1939 and was rapidly in extremely high demand in the US, with up to 4 million pairs of stockings bought in one day.

Nylon is susceptible to hydrolysis when in contact with sulfuric acid, and only a small leak of acid would have sufficed to start a brittle crack in the injection moulded nylon 6, 6 connector by SCC.

This example reaction starting with cyclohexanone, forming the reaction intermediate cyclohexanonoxime ( in the image, the ending ' ono ' in the name is missing ) and resulting in caprolactam is one of the most important applications of the Beckmann rearrangement, as caprolactam is the feedstock in the production of Nylon 6.

In their largest application, an oxime is an intermediate in the industrial production of caprolactam, a precursor to Nylon 6.

Nylon 6 was developed to thwart the patent on nylon 6, 6, and while it does have a slightly different structure, its mechanical properties are remarkably similar to its condensation counterpart.

Caprolactam is the precursor to Nylon 6, a widely used synthetic polymer.

Adiponitrile is a precursor to hexamethylenediamine ( H < sub > 2 </ sub > N –( CH < sub > 2 </ sub >)< sub > 6 </ sub >– NH < sub > 2 </ sub >), which is used for the production of certain kinds of Nylon.

Caprolactam molecule used to synthesize Nylon 6 by ring opening polymerization

Nylon 6 ( polycaprolactam, polyamide 6, PA6 ) is a polymer developed by Paul Schlack at IG Farben to reproduce the properties of nylon 6, 6 without violating the patent on its production.

Nylon 6 begins as pure caprolactam.

Caprolactam has 6 carbons, hence ' Nylon 6 '.

Then the molten mass is passed through spinnerets to form fibres of Nylon 6.

Polymerization of caprolactam to Nylon 6.

Nylon 6 therefore resembles natural polypeptides more closely ; in fact, caprolactam would become an amino acid if it were hydrolyzed.

Nylon 6 ( above ) has a structure similar to Nylon 6, 6 ( below ).
