Nylon-6 manufacturing also produces a significant amount of CO 2. A pricey, multi-step process is used to create the monomer, ε-caprolactam, from raw materials derived from fossil fuels. Reclamation ...

Unique properties of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) and Nylon-6 were combined to obtain nanocomposites through in situ polymerization. For this purpose, plasma-polymerized CNTs (CNTM) and raw CNTs were ...

Industrially, the variant Nylon-6 is made through a ring-opening polymerization of ε-caprolactam on a scale of 5 million tons a year. The market volume is projected to reach 21.5 billion dollars ...

The team, headed up by catalysis chemist Tobin J. Marks, has designed a process that converts nylon 6 back into its starting material, caprolactam (Chem 2023, DOI: 10.1016/j.chempr.2023.10.022).
