Abstract
Ultraviolet-C (UV-C) radiation exposure is an attractive option for rapid and consistent disinfection of interior surfaces in aircraft cabins. In this study, fabric and plastic materials commonly used in aircraft cabins were exposed to UV-C radiation to determine their sensitivity to cumulative damage from frequent application. No significant effect on flame retardancy occurred up to 269 J/cm2 dose, and no effect on tensile or tear strength occurred up to 191 J/cm2 . Changes in color or appearance can occur at lower doses. A limit of 40 J/cm2 is proposed to avoid perceptible changes in appearance.
期刊介绍：
The Journal of Research of the National Institute of Standards and Technology is the flagship publication of the National Institute of Standards and Technology. It has been published under various titles and forms since 1904, with its roots as Scientific Papers issued as the Bulletin of the Bureau of Standards.
In 1928, the Scientific Papers were combined with Technologic Papers, which reported results of investigations of material and methods of testing. This new publication was titled the Bureau of Standards Journal of Research.
The Journal of Research of NIST reports NIST research and development in metrology and related fields of physical science, engineering, applied mathematics, statistics, biotechnology, information technology.
