(Tıp) nylon
A stocking originally fabricated from nylon; also used generically for any long, sheer stocking worn on a woman's legs

They left the strip club when they discovered the ladies only stripped down to their nylons.

Nylons are stockings made of nylon. This woman wore seamed nylons and kept smoothing her skirt. Any synthetic plastic material composed of polyamides of high molecular weight and usually, but not always, manufactured as a fibre. Nylons were developed by Du Pont in the 1930s. The successful production of a useful fibre by chemical synthesis from compounds readily available from air, water, and coal or petroleum stimulated expansion of research on polymers, leading to a rapidly growing family of synthetics. Nylon can be made to form fibres, filaments, bristles, or sheets to be manufactured into yarn, textiles, and cordage, and it can also be formed into molded products. It has high resistance to wear, heat, and chemicals. Most applications are in the form of filaments in such articles as hosiery, parachutes, and outerwear. See also W. H. Carothers
An abrasion-resistant thermoplastic with good chemical resistance
The term nylon includes a vast group of chemically related products Of especial interest to the textile industry is nylon in filament-yarn form; made from a polymer in flake form, it is melted and forced through a spinneret There are two main types-Nylon 6 and Nylon 66, both in filament and staple
A fiber made of thermoplastic fibers melted together Used primarily in combination with other fabrics for suit linings, outerwear linings, and hosiery
