Study of the effect of temperature and humidity on nylon fabrics under storage

Abstract

Investigations were undertaken to study the effect of temperature and humidity on the storage life of nylon fabrics. Nylon fabrics were stored under controlled conditions of temperature and humidity and their breaking and bursting strength were determined periodically. It was found that there was no significant change in the strength of the fabrics even after a period of about 8 and half years when stored of temperatures as high as 85DegreeF and relative humidities as high as 90%.
