Notes:
Chemical crosslinks were introduced in nylon 6 filament by means of organoacetoxy- and ethoxysilanes in benzene under anhydrous conditions. A comparison of the relative reactivities of these silanes toward nylon was made on the basis of the weight add-on calculated from silicon analysis. Application of acetoxysilanes on preswollen nylon caused an increase in the breaking stress and extensibility. However, a decrease in the initial modulus, birefringence, and moisture regain was observed. An improvement in the thermal stability has also been observed in the crosslinked samples.
