     Abstract: 
  /AB      The  history,  growth,  and  economic  importance of polyamide 
        fibers  are  reviewed  briefly. The manufacture of nylon-6 and 
        -6,6  is discussed with emphasis on continuous-filament fibers 
        and  yarns.  Spinning,  drawing,  and texturing operations are 
        described,   including   fiber  finishes  and  additives.  The 
        properties  of  nylon-6  and  -6,6  are  given;  dyeability is 
        reviewed.  Bicomponent and biconstituent fibers, and block and 
        random  copolymers  are  mentioned. Applications are outlined; 
        growths  of these markets are indicated. Vol. 11, pp. 410-445, 
        150 Refs. to January 1985.

        All polyamides other than the aromatic types, ie, aramids, are 
     melt-spun.  This process is more economical for polyamides melting 
     below ca 280 DEGREES C than solution spinning. Thus it is preferred 
     for nylon-6,6,nylon-6, and many others that have been studied on a 
     smaller scale; wet spinning has been reviewed (17) (see also FIBERS, 
    MANUFACTURE). 
     
        In melt spinning, molten polymer is delivered from an extruder 
     or a metal-grid melter (an early commercial process), or
