We believe that the discovery of nylon is the most significant achievement in chemistry throughout the past hundred years as it opened so many doors into humanities future. Although few appreciate its significance in our lives today, it's clear that it has a profound impact on our everyday lives and changed the way we live. Through its discovery, we were able to access polymerisation and create a range of materials present in every part of our day-to-day lives- it's near impossible to find a civilisation today where its influence has not yet reached. This video discusses its discovery, uses then and now and our hopes for it for many years to come.
Thanks for reading and enjoy the video!
