a type of synthetic polymer whose long molecular chains are linked together by amide bonds, valued for their strength, heat resistance, and durability in products such as nylon fibres, Kevlar protective fabrics, and engineered plastic components.
Nylon and Kevlar are both polyamides, though they are used for very different purposes.

much broader category that includes polyamides along with polyesters, polyethylenes, etc.; less precise
文法句型
polyamide + verb (singular/plural agreement with context)
用法筆記
In scientific and industrial contexts, polyamide is commonly used as a count noun (a polyamide, several polyamides) when referring to specific types, and as a mass noun (polyamide is a versatile material) when referring to the class in general. The plural form polyamides often appears in general discussions of the polymer family.
