Thermo-Mechanical Properties and Tensile Behaviour of Modified LDPE by Radiation Cross-Linking after Temperature Load

Article Preview

Abstract:

Radiation processing of polymers is a well-established and economical commercial method of precisely modifying the properties of polymers, especially thermo-mechanical properties. The thermo-mechanical properties and the tensile behaviour of modified LDPE samples by radiation cross-linking were measured at the ambient temperature and after temperature load. The tested samples showed significant changes of tensile behaviour before and after temperature load. From this point of view, new applications could also be seen in areas with service temperatures higher than their former melting point.
