    Abstract
    Photo-irradiation of poly para-phenylene terephthalamide (PPTA) fibre is normally associated with deterioration of physical properties. Nonwoven fabrics produced from 100% photo-irradiated PPTA fibres might therefore be expected to yield fabrics with poorer mechanical properties compared to those produced from non-irradiated fibres. To test this hypothesis, the bursting strength of hydroentangled fabrics manufactured from photo-irradiated PPTA fibres was explored. Prior to fabric manufacture, virgin PPTA staple fibres were photo-irradiated under controlled lighting conditions (xenon short arc lamp with a luminous flux of 13,000 lm) for 0, 5, 10, 20, 40, 60 and 100 h. The photo-irradiated fibres were then hydroentangled to produce nonwoven fabrics. Photo-irradiation exposure of PPTA fibre up to 30 MJ m 2 was not found to be detrimental to fabric bursting strength and at irradiation energies of 5e10 MJ m 2 a small, but statistically significant increase in fabric bursting strength was observed compared to fabrics manufactured from non-irradiated fibre. This may be linked to a change in the surface and skin properties of the PPTA photo-irradiated fibres identified by atomic force microscopy (AFM) following photoirradiation.
