The Soviet Union began its development of an analog in the 1940s, while negotiating with
Germany on building an IG Farben plant in Ukraine, basic scientific work was ongoing in 1942. The production only started in 1948 in Klin, after USSR got its hands on the 2000 volumes of IG Farben, and 10,000

Nylon 6 fibres are tough, possessing high tensile strength, elasticity and lustre. They are wrinkleproof and highly resistant to abrasion and chemicals such as acids and alkalis. The fibres can absorb up to 2.4% of water, although this lowers tensile strength. The glass transition temperature of

also succeeded in synthesizing nylon 6.) It was marketed as Perlon, and industrial production with a capacity of 3,500 tons per year was established in Nazi
Germany in 1943, using phenol as a feedstock. At first, the polymer was used to produce coarse fiber for artificial bristle, then the fiber

Nylon 6 can be modified using comonomers or stabilizers during polymerization to introduce new chain end or functional groups, which changes the reactivity and chemical properties. It is often done to change its dyeability or flame retardance. Nylon 6 is synthesized by
