Making Nylon: It has now been 14 years since I was in a high school classroom, but in those ‘good old days’ we could do an experiment to make nylon 6,6. I am writing some tasks at the moment but don’t want to include this in my tasks if OH&S regulations now means this can no longer be done by students. So, can you let me know if it is still an experiment that is acceptable. The experiment involves decanedioyl dichloride in cyclohexane being floated on an aqueous solution of 1,6-diaminohexane.
