Nylon, a particular family of synthetic polyamides, is an extraordinarily versatile material. Synthesized for the first time by Wallace Hume Carothers in a laboratory of DuPont in 1935 starting from adipic acid and hexamethylene diamine, the Nylon 6.6 was patented in 1937 and first marketed in 1938. Used first as a textile fiber, over time was also enhanced for the realization of high resitance filaments (eg. wires and fishing nets), and for the construction of mechanical parts (screws, bolts, etc.).
