Re: Lichun Chen's request on the above subject, we used to commercially
dissolve nylon in hot, molten phenol for use as a coating for copper wire.
This coating was used as electrical insulation. I don't recall which specific
nylon was used or the percentage that dissolved, but I remember that the
phenol needed to be water-free to the extent possible in a commercial grade.
Based on this, I would suggest to try phenol.
Please note, however, phenol is extremely dangerous and toxic. It easily
burns the skin and will pass into the blood stream rapidly. Safety
precautions are necessary.
