IRRADIATION OF FABRICS AND LEATHER. Paper 2 of FOURTH RADIATION EFFECTS SYMPOSIUM, SEPTEMBER 15-16, 1959, CINCINNATI, OHIO. GENERAL SESSION PAPERS

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4109476
The effects of electron irradiation on the mechanical properties of Acrilan, aminized cotton duck, cotton duck, cotten sateen, nylons, and various treated fabrics were studied. The fabrics received dose levels of 0 to 200 megareps and were evaluated by determinations of tear strength. The effects of electron irradiation (0 to 10 megareps) on various leathers were evaluated by use of bursting strength, stitch-tearing strength, and shrinkage temperature tests. (C.J.G.)
