Difference between nylon 6 and nylon 6,6
Definition
Nylon 6, also known as polycaprolactam, is a polyamide formed via ring opening polymerisation.
Nylon 6,6 is a polyamide made via condensation polymerisation.
Monomer
Nylon 6 requires only one type of monomer for its production.
Nylon 6,6 requires two types of monomers for its production.
Produced from
Nylon 6 is produced from caprolactam.
Nylon 6,6 is produced from hexamethylene diamine and adipic acid.
Polymerisation
Nylon 6 is produced via ring opening polymerisation.
Nylon 6,6 is produced via condensation polymerisation.
Melting point
Nylon 6 has lower melting point.
Nylon 6,6 has higher melting point.
Crystalline
Nylon 6 is less crystalline.
Nylon 6,6 is more crystalline. Next
