WHAT DOES NYLON MEAN IN PORTUGUESE?

Nylon

Náilon

Nylon is a generic name for the polyamide family, synthesized by the chemist named Wallace Hume Carothers in 1935. It was the first synthetic textile fiber produced. The velcro and fabrics used in women's socks, underwear, swimsuits, bikinis, shorts, shorts and other sportswear are made from the polymer. Monomero of Nylon 6,6, first to be produced There are several stories that explain the etymology of this word. The most famous account is that it is so called, because the factory that initially produced it had headquarters both in the United States and in England. The creators of this fiber, given the need to give it a name, decided to join the initials of New York, with the first three letters of London, giving rise to the word nylon. Another possible explanation for the term would be that during World War II the US used the fabric on parachutes. "Nylon" would then be an abbreviation of "Now you've lost, Old Nippon."

O náilon é um nome genérico para a família das poliamidas, sintetizado pelo químico chamado Wallace Hume Carothers em 1935. Foi a primeira fibra têxtil sintética produzida. Dos fios desse polímero fabricam-se o velcro e os tecidos usados em meias femininas, roupas íntimas, maiôs, biquínis, bermudas, shorts e outras roupas esportivas. Monomero do Nylon 6,6, primeiro a ser produzido Várias são as histórias que explicam a etimologia dessa palavra. A mais famosa conta que ele é assim chamado, pois a fábrica que inicialmente o produziu tinha sede tanto nos Estados Unidos quanto na Inglaterra. Os criadores dessa fibra, diante da necessidade de dar-lhe um nome, decidiram juntar as iniciais de New York, com as três primeiras letras de London, dando origem à palavra nylon. Outra possível explicação para o termo seria a de que durante a 2ª Guerra Mundial os EUA usaram o tecido nos pára-quedas. O "nylon" seria então uma abreviação de "Now you've lost, Old Nippon".
