[ หˆpษ’lษชษ™หŒmaษชd ]

Noun
Context #1 | Noun

material science

Polyamide is a type of synthetic polymer that is characterized by the presence of amide bonds in the main polymer chain. These polymers are widely used in textiles, plastics, and other materials due to their durability, elasticity, and resistance to abrasion. Common examples of polyamides include nylon and aramid fibers. Polyamides can be produced through various polymerization processes, and they are often employed in applications that require high tensile strength and resistance to chemicals.

Synonyms

aramid, nylon, synthetic fiber.

Examples of usage

  • The dress was made from a lightweight polyamide fabric.
  • Nylon is a well-known polyamide used in clothing and accessories.
  • Engineers selected polyamide materials for the component due to their strength.
  • The polyamide fibers in the carpet provided durability and stain resistance.

Etymology

The term 'polyamide' derives from the Greek prefix 'poly-' meaning 'many' and the word 'amide', which itself comes from the Latin 'amine' and 'acid'. The development of polyamides began in the early 20th century as chemists explored new ways to create synthetic materials. The first commercially successful polyamide, nylon, was invented by Wallace Carothers in the 1930s, marking a significant advancement in material science and engineering. Since then, the use of polyamides has expanded into various industries, including automotive, aerospace, and furnishings, highlighting their versatility and importance in modern manufacturing.
