Abstract
Influence of mechanical properties of the hard surface layer of modified polyamide 6 is studied. Mechanical properties are acquired by nanohardness test with using the DSI method (Depth Sensing Indentation). Hard surface layers are 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 ionizing 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. Radiation cross-linking usually improves strength, reduces creep, contributes to chemical resistance improvement, and in many cases improves tribological properties.
