A stocking originally fabricated from nylon; also used generically for any long, sheer stocking worn on a woman's legs

They left the strip club when they discovered the ladies only stripped down to their nylons.

Originally, the DuPont company trade name for polyamide, a copolymer whose molecules consist of alternating diamine and dicarboxylic acid monomers bonded together; now generically used for this type of polymer
Nylons are stockings made of nylon. This woman wore seamed nylons and kept smoothing her skirt. Any synthetic plastic material composed of polyamides of high molecular weight and usually, but not always, manufactured as a fibre. Nylons were developed by Du Pont in the 1930s. The successful production of a useful fibre by chemical synthesis from compounds readily available from air, water, and coal or petroleum stimulated expansion of research on polymers, leading to a rapidly growing family of synthetics. Nylon can be made to form fibres, filaments, bristles, or sheets to be manufactured into yarn, textiles, and cordage, and it can also be formed into molded products. It has high resistance to wear, heat, and chemicals. Most applications are in the form of filaments in such articles as hosiery, parachutes, and outerwear. See also W. H. Carothers
An abrasion-resistant thermoplastic with good chemical resistance
The term nylon includes a vast group of chemically related products Of especial interest to the textile industry is nylon in filament-yarn form; made from a polymer in flake form, it is melted and forced through a spinneret There are two main types-Nylon 6 and Nylon 66, both in filament and staple
A fiber made of thermoplastic fibers melted together Used primarily in combination with other fabrics for suit linings, outerwear linings, and hosiery

{i} synthetic material used in industrial manufacturing (e.g. of hosiery, fishing line, rubber products, etc.)
A type of plastic used in many R/C kits There are many types of nylon
An abrasion resistant thermoplastic with good chemical resistance
another word for polyamide
Generic name for all polymers having recurring amide groups in the molecular backbone Various types of nylon are described by numbers that relate to the number of carbon atoms in the various reactants Effect of heat: Sticks at 445°F, Melts at 480°F, Yellows slightly at 300°F when held for 5 hours The most extensively used type of nylon in gloves is Nylon 6/6
A strong plastic that can be used as a film with high oil and gas resistance or used as filament in strapping tapes' with high impact resistance
nylon 6
Nylon 6 or polycaprolactam 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. Unlike most other nylons, nylon 6 is not a condensation polymer, but instead is formed by ring-opening polymerization. This makes it a special case in the comparison between condensation and addition polymers. Its competition with nylon 6,6 and the example it set have also shaped the economics of the synthetic fiber industry. It was given the trademark Perlon in the year 1952

    Etymologie

    [ 'nI-"län ] (noun.) 1938. Arbitrary letters + -on (by analogy with cotton); the frequently heard claim that the word derives from abbreviations of New York ("NY") and London ("Lon") is a myth.
