Effect of Electron Beam Irradiation Crosslinking on PVA Films

Article Preview

Abstract:

Electron beam irradiation cross-linking of polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) films with the presence of N, N'- methylene bisacrylamide (MBA) were studied, improving the thermal stability. The films unirradiated and irradiated were characterized by ATR-FTIR spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, differential scanning calorimetry and thermo gravimetric analysis. The PVA films with the presence of MBA would crosslink after irradiation. The crystallinity increased firstly and then decreased as a function of irradiation dose, while the melting temperature decreased with increasing the dose. Beside, the T30%, T50%, T90% and Tmax temperature of degradation increased as the irradiation dose increased.
