Amide to Active Amine Conversion of Nylon by Deep UV Irradiation
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 15 February 2011
Abstract
Ultraviolet light having sufficiently short wavelength can drive photochemical processes at polymer surfaces. We find that irradiation at 193 nm, but not at 248 nm, results in conversion of amide groups at the nylon surface to amines, still bound in the polymer chain. These amines show anti-microbial activity [1].
