Abstract
While the origins of Bakelite and Nylon-6,6 are reported in Chaps. 2 and 3 respectively, the history of other important commercial polycondensates invented and developed after the death of Carothers in 1937 should shortly be described in this Chapter. Due to the success of Nylon-6,6, DuPont and, later, other chemical companies concentrated their research activities at first on the field of aliphatic polyamides.
