a fun polymer fact is that nylon is named after the cities that the two labs that perfected it were in - New York and London

it's weird to think about but girls could be wearing Lonorks and high heels if it wasn't for this accident of history

thats not true rotor


e: Etymology[edit]
In 1940, John W. Eckelberry of DuPont stated that the letters "nyl" were arbitrary and the "on" was copied from the suffixes of other fibers such as cotton and rayon. A later publication by DuPont (Context, vol. 7, no. 2, 1978) explained that the name was originally intended to be "No-Run" ("run" meaning "unravel"), but was modified to avoid making such an unjustified claim. Since the products was not really run-proof, the vowels were swapped to produce "nuron", which was changed to "nilon" "to make it sound less like a nerve tonic". For clarity in pronunciation, the "i" was changed to "y".[15]

Alternative but apocryphal explanations for the naming are:

- it is a combination of the names of the two cities New York and London, NY-Lon;

- it is an acronym from WWII, a challenging slogan by the allies to their enemy at that time: Now You Lazy Old Nippon, Nippon being an alternative name for Japan, which is the country known for the traditional culture of making silk from silkworms.
