Polyamide (yotchedwanso PA kapena Nylon) ndi mawu ofananirako ndi utomoni wa thermoplastic, wokhala ndi gulu lama amide mobwerezabwereza pamakina akulu am'magulu. PA imaphatikizapo aliphatic PA, aliphatic - onunkhira PA ndi onunkhira PA, momwe aliphatic PA, yochokera ku kuchuluka kwa maatomu a kaboni mu monomer wopanga, ili ndi mitundu yambiri, kuthekera kwambiri ndikugwiritsa ntchito kwambiri.
Ndi miniaturization yamagalimoto, magwiridwe antchito apamwamba azida zamagetsi ndi zamagetsi, komanso kuthamangitsa kwa njira zopepuka zamagetsi, kufunika kwa nayiloni kudzakulirakulira. Zofooka za nayiloni ndizofunikanso pakulepheretsa kagwiritsidwe kake, makamaka pa PA6 ndi PA66, poyerekeza ndi mitundu ya PA46, PA12, ili ndi mwayi wokwera mtengo, ngakhale magwiridwe ena sangakwaniritse zofunikira pakupanga mafakitale ofanana.
