STRUCTURE As described in several articles md patents/ this type of aromatic nylon resin is a polyamide consisting of varying portions of aliphatic and aromatic units. Hexamethylene diamine is the main aliphatic component, which may be augmented by various amounts of adipic acid. The main aromatic component is terephthalic acid, which may be augmented by lesser amounts of isophthalic acid. Depending on relative composition, Amodel (nylon 6,6 copolymer) resins can be regarded as co- and terpolymers consisting of repeat units of nylon 66, nylon 6T, and nylon 61 —poly (hexamethylene isophthalamide). The major potential difference of other aromatic nylons, such as Ultramid T from BASF, is the presence of the 61 component. 

Major manufacturers of nylon resins include Allied Signal (Capron, Nypel), BASF Corp. (Ultramid), Bayer Corp. (Durethan), ComAlloy, DSM, Du Pont Co. (Zytel), Elf Atochem (Rilsan), RTP Co., and Ticona.

Uses. The principal use of adiponitrile is for hydrogenation to hexamethylene diamine leading to nylon-6,6. However, as a result of BASF s new adiponitrile-to-caprolactam process, a significant fraction of ADN produced may find its way into nylon-6 production. Adipoquanamine, which is prepared by the reaction of adiponitrile with dicyandiamide [461-58-5] (cyanoguanidine), may have uses in melamine—urea amino resins (qv) (see "Benzonitrile, Uses"). Its typical liquid nitrile properties suggest its use as an extractant for aromatic hydrocarbons.

Glass-fiber reinforcement of unsaturated polyester resins, of epoxies, and polystyrene had been practiced for a number of years, resulting in a considerable improvement in strength, stiffness, and dimensional stability. Later, about 1960, glass-fiber reinforced nylon 66 was also developed, by Fiberfil Inc. in the United States [47] and by ICI in England [48]. This kind of modification was subsequently applied to nylon 6, in Germany particularly by BASF and Bayer.
