Braid Nylon

Braided Synthetic Nonabsorbable Sutures. Braided synthetic nonabsorbable sutures are made by melt-spinning thermoplastic polymers into fine filaments (yams), and braiding them, with or without a core, to form multifilament sutures in a range of sizes. Nylon-6,6 [32131 -17-2] (7) is a polyamide produced by the condensation polymerization of adipic acid and 1,6-hexanediamine. 

Nylon monofilaments have found application in brush tufting, wigs, surgical sutures, sports equipment, braiding and outdoor upholstery. Nylons 610 and 11 have found extensive application in these fields because of their flexibility but nylon 66 is also used for brush tufting less than 0.0035 in. in diameter. Nylon 66/610 copolymer is used in the manufacture of a monofilament for angling purposes.

Nylons belong to the class of polymers known as engineering polymers that is, they are strong, tough, and heat resistant. We can readily extrude and mold nylons to form a wide variety of useful objects, such as tubing, furniture casters, and automotive air intake ducts. Nylons are commonly spun into filaments or fibers. These can be used directly, or braided, or twisted to form threads, yarns, cords, and ropes, which may be further woven to make fabrics. In their fibrous forms, nylons are used in carpets, backpacks, and hosiery. 

Absorbable sutures are collagen sutures, polyglycolic acid and its lactide copolymers, and polydioxanone. Nonabsorbable sutures include silk, cotton, polyethylene, polypropylene, nylon, PET, and stainless steel. These fibers can be used as monofilaments or multifilaments (twisted or braided). Figure 2.16 shows examples of filters for medical purposes made of polyester, nylon, and metallic fibers. In summary, fibers are used in almost everything that we can see in our... 

In the case of the downward air flow pattern, the belt is porous, whereas in the case of the cross flow pattern, the belt may be solid. The selection of air flow/belt design would depend on the particle size and shape of the product being dried. One would choose a porous belt when drying a large granular material which would not fall through the pores of the belt (which can be a wide metal or nylon wire mesh or, with a smaller particle size, could be a tight braided type screen). For very small particles, or those which... 

Besides film, other extruded applications of nylons are as monofilaments, which have found applications in surgical sutures, brush tufting, wigs, sports equipment, braiding, outdoor upholstery, and angling.
