Modification of Nylons via Graft Copolymerization

Abstract Polyamides or nylons are linear thermoplastic polymers with recurring amide groups as integral parts of the polymer chain. Polyamides or nylon fibers have been defined by the U.S. Federal Trade Commission as “a manufactured fiber in which the fiber forming substances are any long chain synthetic polyamides having amide groups (— CONH —) as an integral part of the polymer chain.”
