The chemical changes occurring in nylon (6 and 66) on irradiation have been studied. The results confirm earlier work on model systems which showed the main attack to be between the‐NH‐group of the amide bond and the adjacent‐CH2‐group. However, a number of products were found that indicate a more complicated course of the reaction. The similarily of photooxidation and thermal degradation8 is pointed out.
