Micro-Indentation Test of Cross-Linking Polyethylene

Abstract:

Radiation crosslinking of linear polyethylene (LLDPE) is a well-recognized modification of improving basic material characteristics. This research paper deals with the utilization of electron beam irradiated LLDPE on the micro-indentation test. The effect of the irradiation on mechanical behavior of the tested polyethylene was investigated. The results indicate that the mechanical behavior, highly depends on the intensity of irradiation. Toughness and hardness grew with increasing dose of the irradiation LLDPE. Indentation modulus increased from 0.25 to 0.28 GPa and indentation hardness increased from 21.89 to 26.25 MPa. These results indicate advantage crosslinking of the improved mechanical properties.
