Nylon acid rain degradation

KYLLO AND LADISCH Acid Rain Degradation of Nylon... [Pg.349]

Nylon fibers are used extensively in outdoor textiles and as a result are subject to sunlight, varying temperatures and acid precipitation. The degradation of nylon by light, heat, humidity and air polluted with sulfur dioxide has been widely studied (8-13). However, little data is available on the effect of aqueous acid on nylon in the presence of heat, light and moisture (i.e. acid rain conditions). Therefore, the purpose of this work was to determine the effect of acid rain conditions on nylon. The synergistic effects of aqueous acid, light and heat on nylon were also examined. [Pg.344]

All of these accelerating effects were found to occur only in the presence of light. Since acid alone is also known to degrade nylon (12, 13) it is reasonable to suspect a synergistic action by light, humidity, heat, and aqueous acid (i.e. acid rain conditions) on the chemical and physical properties of the nylon fabric. [Pg.345]
