Oh yeah... cant say it has nothing to do with silk since it was intended to replace silk.
You let me know if this still is not good enough for you. synthetic polymers are within my realm of knowlege.
But as you say I am not here to teach you anything
Nylon is a thermoplastic silky material, first used commercially in a nylon-bristled toothbrush (1938), followed more famously by women's stockings ("nylons"; 1940).
Nylon was the first commercially successful synthetic polymer.
Nylon was intended to be a synthetic replacement for silk and substituted for it in many different products after silk became scarce during World War II. It replaced silk in military applications such as parachutes and flak vests, and was used in many types of vehicle tires.
Nylon fibres are used in many applications, including fabrics, bridal veils, carpets, musical strings, and rope.
The characteristic features of nylon 6,6 include:
Pleats and creases can be heat-set at higher temperatures
More compact molecular structure
Better weathering properties; better sunlight resistance
Softer "Hand"
Higher melting point (256 °C/492.8 °F)
Superior colorfastness
Excellent abrasion resistance
On the other hand, nylon 6 is easy to dye, more readily fades; it has a higher impact resistance, a more rapid moisture absorption, greater elasticity and elastic recovery.
Durability: its high tenacity fibers are used for seatbelts, tire cords, ballistic cloth and other uses.
High elongation
Highly resilient (nylon fabrics are heat-set)
Paved the way for easy-care garments
High resistance to insects, fungi, animals, as well as molds, mildew, rot and many chemicals
Used in carpets and nylon stockings
Melts instead of burning
Used in many military applications
Good specific strength
