“…Secondly, the cross-linking degree can be controlled throughout the applied irradiation dose (ID) before the foaming process. The process has found tremendous interest in the scientific community and there are plenty of articles in the literature regarding the effect of high energy electron radiation not only on the properties of NR, modified NR and their blends Almaslow et al, 2013;Banik and Bhowmick, 2000;Chirinos et al, 2003;Craciun et al, 2014;Hassan et al, 2007;Jing et al, 2013;Khalid et al, 2010;Manshaie et al, 2011;Mitra et al, 2008;Nabil and Ismail, 2014;Ratnam and Zaman, 1999;Ratnam et al, 2000;Sharif et al, 2005;Stelescu et al, 2014) but also on the properties of polyolefins such as low-density polyethylene (LDPE), high-density polyethylene (HDPE) and ethylene-vinyl acetate (EVA) (Eaves, 1988;Khonakdara et al, 2006;.…”
