In this video, I will be doing the classic Nylon 6,6 demonstration. 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

NileRed Capturing the natural beauty of chemistry I find that chemistry is often taught poorly or without a purpose. Because of this, people tend to lose interest and sometimes even start to hate it. In each video that I make, I try to balance theory with purpose. My goal is to capture the natural beauty of chemistry in fun and interesting ways. In terms of education, I have a BSc in Biochemistry, with a minor in pharmacology. However, I've always been a lot more drawn to applied chemistry. So after finishing my degree, I worked as a lab tech in an organic lab, and then as a chemistry grad student. However, I ended up leaving my graduate studies early to focus on this channel. Now, making chemistry videos has become my full-time job! Email: admin@nilered.ca
