2.2 Cyclohexane Oxidation to Cyclohexanol and Cyclohexanone and to Adipic Acid: on the Way to Nylon-6,6 Adipic acid is mainly used to produce nylon-6,6, a synthetic polyamide used in clothing, in the ...
Cyclohexane oxidation to adipic acid, a nylon precursor, is one compelling candidate for an electrochemical approach to process intensification. 30% of nylon is currently produced from ...
By 1934, Carothers had a promising development: He combined the chemicals amine, hexamethylene diamine, and adipic acid. It created fibers! But they were weak. They had formed by the polymerizing ...
