Abstract

AbstractNylon 6, 20 denier, monofilaments were grafted with methylmethacrylate and methylacrylate using ceric ion/sulphuric acid as initiator. Grafted nylon samples with different % graft‐on were prepared by varying the reaction conditions. The thermal stabilities of these grafted samples were compared with parent nylon using dynamic thermogravimetry in air at a heating rate of 6 °C/min up to a temperature of 550 °C. The initial decomposition temperature (IDT) integral procedureal decomposition temperature (IPDT) and activation energy (E) values indicated that thermal stability decreased as a result of grafting.
