Making Nylon the Bishop Gore way

One of my fondest memories of my 'O - Level' chemistry teacher, affectionately known as Ken, was seeing him demonstrate how to make Nylon.

We had just been studying polymerisation, when he nipped off into the prep room, and came back with two bottles of chemicals, poured them into a beaker, and produced Nylon! this was a real magic moment, and one I will always remember.So, you can imagine my glee when today, the internet counjoured up this link for me: -
How2.0 create Nylon.

Maybe I'll be able to pass on the magic to one of my classes, soon.
