Thermal-Oxidation Degradation and Evaluation of Non-Durable Non-Woven Fabrics

Abstract:

Samples of polypropylene (PP), polyethylene (PE),polyester (PET), polylactide (PLA), and viscose (CV) non-woven fabrics, were exposed to blowing hot oven at 110°C temperature conditions separately for different times. In order to determine the state of thermal oxidation degradation, samples were examined by Tensile Properties, Scanning Electron Microscopy, Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy and Differential Scanning Calovimotry (DSC). These methods can be used to study and evaluate the sample thermal oxidation degradation.
