초록

Poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) has high tensile strength and flexibility as well as oxygen barrier properties. The water, which acts as a plasticizer, reduces the tensile strength of PVA and swells PVA as well. It needs to have high water-resistant depending on its applications, especially for the use as tire cords. The aim of this work was to investigate the effect of the annealing temperature and radiation on the Gel content and tensile strength of PVA fibers. For this purpose, gel fraction and tensile strength were determined and analyzed. Annealing was performed in the temperature range of 120~180℃ for 10 min. PVA fibers were irradiated by using a conventional electron beam irradiation at a radiation dose of 50~200 kGy, at a dose of 10 kGy/pass at room temperature (acceleration voltage of 1 MeV). Annealing markedly increased the Gel content and the tensile strength of PVA fibers. However irradiation lowered the Gel content and the tensile strength of PVA fibers because they were degraded easily by radiation.
