Definition of polyamide in English:
polyamide
noun ˌpɒlɪˈeɪmʌɪdˌpɒlɪˈamʌɪdˌpɑliˈæmaɪd
mass nounA synthetic polymer of a type made by the linkage of an amino group of one molecule and a carboxylic acid group of another, including many synthetic fibres such as nylon.
Example sentencesExamples
- Generically known as a group of polyamides, nylon is chemically distinguished by its amide linkages to two aromatic rings.
- One polymer that is widely used for extruded balloon catheters is polyamide (nylon).
- This molecular weight is relatively low and not far from the critical molecular weight of polyamides, which is generally near 15,000 g/mole.
- Examples of polymers produced in this way include polyesters, polyamides, polyurethanes, polyethers, and polysulfones.
- Nylon 66 is a polyamide based on hexamethylene diamine and adipic acid.
