POLY 102 |
| Our group has been heavily involved in degradation studies of polyamides, specifically Nylon and to a somewhat lesser extent Kevlar. The bulk of the work examined either Nylon or Kevlar. The focus of this paper is to examine Nylon aged with Kevlar and as a secondary note, the result of Nylon aged in lower than 100% RH condition. Nylon aged with Kevlar at 100% RH under an oxygen atmosphere clearly demonstrates an enhanced rate of degradation compared to that of Nylon aged alone. It appears that there was no difference between the samples of Nylon aged with or without Kevlar under 100% RH and an argon atmosphere.
