AbstractThe thermal stability and radiation resistance of three polymers Nylon 6, acrylonitrile copolymer and polyester were investigated. The polymer samples were irradiated by low rate fission neutrons from a252Cf source. The polyester showed a higher heat and radiation resistance than the two other polymers. It has to be recommended herein that polyester is the most suitable fiber for the manufacture of products in which heat buildup is produced during application, or products where radiation and heat resistance are required.
