Why is nylon useful?
Nylon is a widely used material made from synthetic polymers also known as plastics. It was first made in 1938 as a nylon-bristled toothbrush. Nylon is useful because it is a high strength fiber that is used for making fishing nets, ropes, parachutes and other type cords. Or it can be used for making fabrics in textile industry. Crinkled nylon are used for making elastic hosiery and other nylon could even be used as plastic for making machine parts but have to be blended with wool to increase the strength.
