Abstract
Today, efforts have been made to improve the positive properties as well as reduce the negative properties of different fibers. Meanwhile, polyester fibers, against all their advantages and desirable properties, their low thermal resistance has limited their use in various industries. Because thermal resistance is one of the most important topics in engineering sciences. In most cases, these fibers need to be modified by methods that are very broad and involve the physical and chemical modifications of polymers and fibers. Therefore, in this study, it has been tried to evaluate the improvement of thermal resistance of these fibers. For this purpose, the thermal properties of fibers were investigated by filling Muscovite mineral nanoparticles in the smelting operation on polyester chips. Ultraviolet rays were used to reduce the particle size of Muscovite and the effect of these variables including the amount of mineral and the duration of ultraviolet rays on the thermal properties of these fibers was evaluated. The results were analyzed using the design of experiments and images of electron microscope and infrared spectrometer. The results showed that the muscovite particles were thoroughly mixed with the polyester particles and the Muscovite nanoparticles were fillered in this polymer and the produced fibers have high uniformity. The results of flame test also showed that the presence of Muscovite nanoparticles in polyester granules has a significant effect on improving the thermal resistance of fibers. Also, there was no significant decrease in the mechanical properties of the modified fibers based on the tensile test.
