Abstract

Tassar silk fiber (Antheraea mylitta) was irradiated with the available maximum dose range upto 100 kGy using 8 MeV electron beam at room temperature. Irradiation effect in these fibers is quantified in terms of the changes in microstructural parameters studied using wide-angle X-ray scattering data (WAXS). The crystal imperfection parameters such as crystallite size (<N>), lattice strain (g in %), and surface weighted crystallite size (D s in à ) have been determined by line profile analysis (LPA) using Fourier method of Warren. For this purpose, exponential, lognormal, and Reinhold functions for column length distribution have been used for the determination of these parameters. These parameters were compared with tensile properties of the fibers. The increasing trend of crystallite size values (<N> as well as D s in à ) and tenacity (gf/den) with increasing dosage of radiation clearly indicates the cross linking polymer network in fiber. Comparison of SEM photographs also confirms the X-ray results.
