The Degradation of Nylon by Iron Rust

Abstract

Nylon (both fabric and cord) was exposed to iron rust, Fe2O3, and FeCl3, in environments of sea water (synthetic), distilled water, pH4 and pH10. The iron rust and Fe2O3 were found to be not significantly chemically degrading to the nylon. The FeCl3 was degrading as expected.
