It's just a polymer. And it isn't made from a difunctional monomer like nylon 66 or proteins. Instead, it's made from a cyclic amide, sometimes called a lactam. To polymerize, the lactam has to break open into a linear form, and the lactam monomers end up enchained head-to-tail. This process is called ring-opening polymerization.
