Popis: In order to clarify the fatigue mechanism of PET tire cords in rubber focusing on chemical degradation, hydrolysis in saturated steam atmosphere, ammonolysis in ammonia gas, and the degradation of the cords embedded in rubber have been studied at high temperature conditions. It was found that the strength loss of polyester tire cords in rubber has linear correlation with the amount of chemically induced chain scissions mainly caused by hydrolysis catalyzed by amines.
