Influence of Irradiation Doses on Mechanical Properties of PA6

摘要

The presented article deals with influence of mechanical properties of the hard surface layer of modified polyamide 6. The mechanical properties were acquired by nano-hardness test with using the DSI method (Depth Sensing Indentation). Hard surface layer was created by radiation cross-linking technology. This technology allows polymer materials modification followed by the change of their end-use properties. The surface layer of polymer material is modified by β - radiation. When the polymer material is exposed to the β radiation, it is possible to observe changes of the surface layer at applied load.
