The polymeric properties are tailored and enhanced by high energy radiation processing, which is an effective technique to tune the physical, chemical, thermal, surface, and structural properties of the various thermoplastic and elastomeric polymeric components. The gamma and electron beam radiation are the most frequent radiation techniques used for crosslinking, compatibilizing, and grafting of various polymer blends and composites systems. The gamma radiation-induced grafting and crosslinking are the effective, rapid, clean, user-friendly, and well-controlled techniques for the polymeric materials for their properties improvement for high performance applications such as nuclear, automobile, electrical insulation, ink curing, surface modification, food packaging, medical, sterilization, and health-care in a different environment. Similarly, electron beam radiations crosslinking has been a well-known technique for properties development and has economic benefits over chemical crosslinking techniques. This review focuses on the development of polymeric multi component systems (functionalized polymer, blends, and nanohybrids), where partially nanoscale clay incorporation can achieve the desired properties, and partially by controlled high energy radiations crosslinking of blends and nanocomposites. In this review, various investigations have been studied on the development and modifications of polymeric systems, and controlled dose gamma radiation processed the polymer blends and clay-induced composites. Radiation induced grafting of the various monomers on the polymer backbone has been focused. Similarly, comparative studies of gamma and electron beam radiation and their effect on property devlopment have been focused. The high energy radiation modified polymers have been used in several high performance sectors, including automotive, wire and cable insulation, heat shrinkable tube, sterilization, biomedical, nuclear and space applications.

“…As radiation processing is very simple, clean, non-toxic, and environmentally friendly compared to peroxide crosslinking and ethylene oxide sterilization. Both the combination of polymer and compound plays its role in attracting the attention of industrialists, scholars, and researchers of many applications [2][3][4]. The polymer mixed with radiation in controlled doses shows many advantages of structural improvements such as better mechanical strength, high thermal insulation, electrical insulation, chemical resistance, radiation resistance, and antimicrobial properties [5][6][7].…”

Function modification of polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) having phosphorus-containing heterocyclic compounds is believed to have thermal and biological applications in the area of polymers. The synthesis of phosphorus-containing PVA (P-PVA) was performed using γ-radiation. The chemical structure of the composite polymer is confirmed by spectroscopic techniques of FT-IR, 1H, 13C, and 31P-NMR. Photosensitive properties of polymers were investigated by ultraviolet spectroscopy. Thermal studies are assigned using the Differential Scanning Calorimeter (DSC) and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). Data display that P-PVA has more thermal stability than PVA. The surface morphology of the prepared hydrogels was performed using scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Quantitative elemental analysis of the P-PVA hydrogel was done through energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX). Antimicrobial activity of the prepared hydrogels using different fungi such as Aspergillus fumigatus, Geotrichum candidum, Candida albicans, and Syncephal-astrum racemosum, in addition to bacteria such as Staphylococcus aureus, Bacillis subtilis (as gram-positive bacteria), Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Escherichia coli (as gram-negative bacteria), was studied. The phosphorus-contained PVA hydrogels were found to have antimicrobial activity against various fungi and bacteria compared to pure PVA hydrogels.

“…Accordingly, they are extensively used in the automobile, aviation, and aerospace industries, among other fields [1][2][3][4][5]. Indeed, composite materials have become essential in the manufacture of automobiles and aircraft parts [5][6][7]. Boeing and Airbus use thermoplastic composites as load-bearing structural components, such as stiffeners, corner pieces, cabin seats and other secondary load-bearing structural members, wing leading edges, fuselage stiffened panels, flat wing torque boxes, and other main loadbearing structure transitions [4,7].…”

Investigation of Electromagnetic Pulse Compaction on Conducting Graphene/PEKK Composite Powder

Polymer-composite materials have the characteristics of light weight, high load, corrosion resistance, heat resistance, and high oil resistance. In particular, graphene composite has better electrical conductivity and mechanical performance. However, the raw materials of graphene composite are processed into semi-finished products, directly affecting their performance and service life. The electromagnetic pulse compaction was initially studied to get the product Graphene/PEKK composite powder. Simultaneously, spark plasma sintering was used to get the bars to determine the electrical conductivity of Graphene/PEKK composite. On the basis of this result, conducting Graphene/PEKK composite powder can be processed by electromagnetic pulse compaction. Finite element numerical analysis was used to obtain process parameters during the electromagnetic pulse compaction. The results show that discharge voltage and discharge capacitance influence on the magnetic force, which is a main moulding factor affecting stress, strain and density distribution on the specimen during electromagnetic pulse compaction in a few microseconds.
