Nylon 6,6 is a common example of a polyamide.

Polyamides are polymers that contain repeating amide (-CO-NH-) linkages.

The structure of Nylon 6,6 is

[-NH-(CH_2)_6-NH-CO-(CH_2)_4-CO-]_n

where n is a large number.

The numbers in the name showow that there are six carbon atoms on either side of an amide linkage.
