STRENGTH OF IRRADIATED DRAWN AND UNDRAWN NYLON
Journal Article

· Brit. J. Appl. Phys.
The effect of reactor irradiation on the strength properties of oriented and unoriented nylon filaments was investigated. Both the ultimate strength and the elastic modulus of the undrawn sample decreased markedly to a minimum upon receiving a reactor radiation indexed by the thermal neutron component of 6 x 10/ sup 17/ nvt as compared with that of the drawn sample. However, at somewhat higher levels of irradiation the ultimate tensile strength and the modulus of elasticity of the undrawn nylon increased while that of the drawn nylon continued to decrease until they approach to nearly the same level. At still a higher dose of reactor irradiation the ultimate tensile strength of both drawn and undrawn samples dropped sharply while the modulus of elasticity increased sharply. (auth)
