Abstract: | Conclusions The radiation resistance of acetate and triacetate yarns has been studied. It has been shown that, in retention of physico-mechanical properties at a radiation dose of 10 Mrad, the yarns may be placed in the series: acetate, dull > acetate, bright > acetate dyed > triacetate, bright.It has been found that irradiation of acetate yarns with small doses leads to an increase in their resistance to abrasion with practically complete retention of the original strength. The effect of radiative improvement is higher in acetate yarns which have been dulled with titanium dioxide.Translated from Khimicheskie Volokna, No. 3, pp. 31–32, May–June, 1988. |
