EFFECT OF MOISTURE ON THE MECHANICAL PROPERTIES OF NYLON REPORT BY FAIZAN ANWER HOZEFA NAJEEB PROJECT ADVISOR YASSER JAFFER PREFACE Nylon emerged as commercial thermoplastics after the Second World War following their remarkable wartime success in the textile field. The large scale production of Nylon plastics grew mainly from the adoption of conversion methods and equipment already used for other thermoplastics, together with the availability of relative cheep raw material for bulk manufacture of the polymers. In this report an attempt has been made to present, a broad but balance picture of present day Nylon plastics technology. The topics follow the sequence adapted for monographs on plastic materials in this report and cover raw materials, polymerization techniques, and properties with an historical introduction and testing. While the emphasis is largely based on the effect of moisture on Nylon 6. In discussing properties necessitate is emphasized to obtain the reliable design data to exploit the unique...
