Canvas, Silk and Nylon. The canopy of the parachute was initially made of canvas, which was eventually replaced by silk, which was thinner, lighter, stronger, fire resistant and easy-to-fold. In late 1930s and early 1940s, the World War affected silk import in the United States.
Soon after its introduction it was used to make parachutes, ropes and tents during the Second World War, as well as nylon stockings and toothbrushes. Itâs a strong synthetic fibre, which resists abrasion. Nylon doesnât shrink or stretch through washing, but it is degraded by ultraviolet light. Nylon is made when the appropriate monomers (the chemical building blocks which make up polymers) are combined to form a long chain via a condensation polymerisation reaction.
