Nylon is a synthetic fibre which is commonly used in the textile industry. The word fibre will give you an image of interlinked threads. Synthetic fibres are man-made fibres that are derived from several chemical processes. They can be easily woven because of their thread-like nature. The force of attraction between the monomers of a fibre is very strong; the monomers crosslink to form a strong hydrogen bond.
Nylon is also used for making fishing nets, ropes and parachutes because it is strong and long lasting. Like nylon, polyester and rayon too are synthetic fibres. They are non-toxic substances and can be dyed.
