What is it about?
Presently, important applications of nylon fibers are observed in products including sport apparel, travel accessories, fabric, finishing net, sports and adventure equipment etc. Market research reports are forecasting strong growth in the future consumption of nylon fiber. This study realizes how the nylon fiber was modified using the montmorillonite clay and to explore what are the possible effects, and improvement achieved in nylon through the incorporation of montmorillonite clay content.

Why is it important?
This subject concern will guide the important research areas for further studies in nylon- montmorillonite composite fiber. Clay mineral particularly montmorillonite are available in nature and exhibited variety of useful effects when used as filler or additive.
Perspectives
Nylon fiber when modified using clay mineral can demonstrate several useful effects and improved performance. It is known to impart interesting effects to textile fibers including heat resistance, flame retardancy, strength, water absorbency, polymer matrix etc. , and antimicrobial activity coupled with hydrophobicity.
