In this research, we demonstrate the effect of ultraviolet-C (UV-C) irradiation of Polyamide 6/carbon-fiber (PA6/CF) composites. The PA6 and PA6/CF composites were fabricated using a fused deposition modeling type 3D printer with a single spool. These specimens were exposed for 0, 1, 3, 5, and 7 days under UV-C light irradiation. After exposure, the specimens were observed and characterized with contact angle measurements, Fourier transform infrared analysis, 3D fluorescence spectroscopy

Furthermore, the 3D fluorescence images and emission spectra were shown to successfully coincide with the results of the photo-oxidative degradation reactions of PA6 and PA6/CF. In addition, the tensile test results showed a dramatic decrease in PA6 while PA6/CF did not decrease much, indicating that CF is useful not only as a reinforcement of the composite but also for UV protection.
