Abstract

Polyamide 66 (PA66) nanofibers with Triallyl cyanurate (TAC) were obtained by electrospinning of formic acid and chloroform solution. Electron beam irradiation of PA66 nanofiber with and without TAC was carried out over a range of absorbed doses (20~100 kGy) in nitrogen. The characterization of the irradiated PA66 nanofibers and PA66 nanofibers with TAC was done by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and universal testing machine (UTM). The results of the SEM image analysis confirmed that the morphology of PA66 nanofibers was not altered by electron beam. The amount of TAC in PA66 nanofiber with TAC was identified by $^1H-NMR$ analysis. The degradation temperature of PA66 nanofibers with TAC at an absorbed dose of 20~100 kGy was higher than the irradiated PA66 nanofiber without TAC. On the other hand, the decreasing rate of modulus of irradiated PA66 nanofibers with TAC was less than PA66 nanofibers.
