Every problem in the world can be fixed with one of two items; if it moves and it shouldn't, use duct tape. If it doesn't move and it should, use WD-40. The product we chose for this assignment is duct tape. In this paper we will discuss what duct tape is used for, who creates and supplies duct tape, what duct tape does, why we think duct tape is useful and how we think duct tape will be around and useful in five years.
Since it was invented, duct tape has been used for many other purposes. In fact, it has so many now that it has become an icon. Its versatility became popular with the help of a television celebrity Red Green. Red Green showed us that there is hardly anything in your house, or garage for that matter, which cannot be fixed with a little duct tape. Duct tape can fix the body of your car, the hole in your boat, and the tear in your lazy boy. Red Green’s motto is “if they don’t find you handsome, they should at least find you handy” and his handy man’s tool was duct tape.
It has now become popular amongst crafty preteens and teenagers who appear limitless in their imagination on what they can make with duct tape. They have made everything from shoes, boots, hats and purses. Incredibly, there is also an annual contest for the best prom dress made strictly from duct tape, with the winners receiving tuition money.
There is even a book on alternative uses and objects that can be made from duct tape. A quick search on YouTube about duct tape will bring up hundreds of tutorials on instructions for Duct tape wallets, flowers, woven beach bags, bows, and cell phone cases. It can even be used for First Aid; if you put Duct tape on a wart for a week, it will make it disappear.

There are two popular ways of creating nylon for fiber applications. One, ¡°molecules with an acid (COOH) group on each end are reacted with molecules containing amine (NH©ü) groups on each end.¡± The nylon 6,6 is made in this fashion. The other common way of making nylon fibers is by polymerizing a compound containing an amine at one end and an acid at the other, to form a chain with reoccurring groups of (-NH-[CH©ü]n-CO-)x. If the x=5, the fiber is named nylon 6 (Nylon Fiber).
