Effect of electron beam radiation on mechanical and electrical properties of poly(ethylene‐co‐vinyl acetate)

Abstract: Ethylene-vinyl acetate (EVA) copolymer (12% vinyl acetate content) is subjected to electron beam irradiation using trimethylolpropane trimethacrylate (TMF'TMA) as a radiation sensitizer. Mechanical and electrical studies of these irradiated samples show that the strength properties (tensile strength, elongation at break) are increased with radiation dosage up to an optimum radiation dose and sensitizer level above which the properties begin to deteriorate. Crosslinking of the polymer takes place on irradiation… Show more

“…The electrical properties of electron beam-irradiated low-density polyethylene (LDPE)/EVA in the presence of various types of sensitizers were also reported in the literature [18,19]. The electrical properties of electron beammodified thermoplastic elastomers made from blends of LDPE and EVA were studied by Chattopadhyay et al and Borhani et al [20,21].…”

“…[7][8][9][10] EVA has the ability to form crosslinked network even at low radiation doses with consecutive improvement in mechanical and thermal properties. 11,12 The inuence of low, medium and high energy radiation on mechanical, thermal and electrical properties of EVA/low density polyethylene (LDPE) blend system have been extensively studied by several group of researchers. [13][14][15][16][17] Chattopadhyay et al have investigated about the heat shrinkability of irradiated EB cured EVA/polethylene blends 18 and Dalai's group have successfully produced crosslinked foam from irradiated EVA/LDPE blends containing azodicarbonamide.…”
