Nylon is one of the world’s most widely used synthetic materials, but producing it ...

AdvanSix is pushing the boundary of sustainability for polyamide, commonly known as nylon. The Parsippany, NJ, has developed nylon products made from 100% post-consumer recycled (PCR) content. The ...

In T-shirts, stockings, shirts, and ropes—or as a component of parachutes and car tires—polyamides are used everywhere as synthetic fibers. At the end of the 1930s, the name Nylon was coined for such ...

A team of researchers at NYU have presented a new chemical reactor type that synthesizes a precursor for nylon production through electrosynthesis, rather than a thermal based reaction. The need for ...

Nylon can be found everywhere in modern life, from the clothes we wear to the seatbelts in our cars. The problem is that producing it can be a dirty business, but researchers say a new method can make ...

Invista is expanding its nylon production capacity in China and the U.S. On Wednesday, Invista and the Shanghai Chemical Industry Park (SCIP) signed memorandum of cooperation to construct an ...

A team of researchers is working to upend energy-intensive, fossil fuel-dependent chemical manufacturing processes and replace them with sustainable, solar-driven reactions that rely on renewable ...

Just to be clear, not all rare earth metals are necessarily rare or difficult to obtain and process. Some can be as common as copper, while others have low accessibility or are tough to extract from ...

Growing market demand for nylon 6,6 resin is the driver behind plans by Ascend Performance Materials (Houston, TX) to increase production capacity across its intermediate chemicals and polymers ...
