Abstract
Vinyl benzyl trimethyl ammonium chloride (VBTAC) was grafted onto nylon-6 fabric in the presence of 2- hydroxy ethyl methacrylate (HEMA) by the simultaneous irradiation method in the presence of air with 60Co γ-radiations. An increase in grafting was observed with increasing dose. Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) confirmed the grafting of VBTAC. Morphological changes after grafting were confirmed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The X-ray diffraction (XRD) pattern showed changes in crystallinity on grafting. The initial studies carried out with grafted nylon fabric showed behavioural changes in the burning properties.
