Ans: Nylon is made from the chemical reactions of two large molecules of a dicarboxylic acid and diamine acid. When both these molecules come together they fuse to create even a large molecule and give away the water. In this case, the larger polymer formed is known as nylon. Typically, a giant sheet or ribbon of nylon is formed that is later shredded into chips. These become the raw materials that are used in the production of plastics. Nylon textiles are made from melting these chips which are further run through a wheel with several tiny holes that make it into a fibre. The various hole sizes determine the thickness and length of these nylon fibres.
