Abstract

Bio-fouling as a worldwide marine industries concern is the accumulation of micro and macro-organisms on the submersed surfaces in the sea water. It has destructive effects on the sunk parts of the ships, fish cages and all other marine submersed structures. To reduce bio-fouling on the nylon fibers a dual mix of 2-Hydroxy ethyl methacrylate(HEMA) and methyl acrylate(MA) was grafted on the fiber surface using a pre-irradiation technique in different conditions. Subsequently, degree of grafting and homo and or co-polymer % of the aforementioned monomers at different operative parameters including reaction temperatures (60-90℃), and times (1-4h), pre-irradiation time (10-40min) and also initiator concentration (3-9wt%) were measured and the results were compared and discussed with those calculated values by a traditional design of experiment software (Design expert®). The optimum grafting conditions and the interaction between above mentioned parameters were evaluated by the software using four variables and two surface responses with central point design method. It found that increasing pre-irradiation time and also initiator concentration improved the grafting % of the monomers on the fiber surface. The reason referred to increasing the active sites on the fiber surface after pre-irradiation. With the aid of variance analysis and considering p-values variable with 0.05 confidence interval, it revealed that the important parameters lied down in the order of reaction temperature, reaction time, pre-irradiation time and initiator concentration. Also, the results were confirmed statistically by the characteristic coefficient, adjustment coefficient and fit precision of 96%,93% and 30.302, respectively. The real values for degree of grafting and also homo and co-polymer percent were 47.9% and 41.15% respectively. They were in conformity with predicted values by mathematical model with the values of 38.59 and 43.42%. Also, two equations were proposed by the software for calculation of the aforementioned parameters with studied operative parameters.
