Making nylon

I first convert adipic acid (which was made in a previous video) to adipoyl chloride. It is then reacted with hexamethylenediamine to form Nylon 6,6. In the future, I will be making Nylon 6,6 the industrial way, by first going through the nylon salt. Note: I write cyclohexanol in the video, but it is actually cyclohexane that I used. I also wrote in the comments it was cyclohexanol...so double mistake. oops Fluorescein video:    • Making Fluorescein   Adipic Acid video:    • Making a Nylon Precursor using Green Chemi...   ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Merch - https://nilered.tv/store ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Join the community: Patreon -   / nilered   Discord -   / discord   NileRed Newsletter - https://nile.red/home#newsletter You can also find me here: Facebook -   / nilered2   Instagram -   / nile.red   Twitter -   / nilered2   Nile talks about lab safety:    • Chemistry is dangerous.
