Electron beam processed polymers with multi-properties

Abstract

This paper mainly describes that surface density changes in dangling bonds caused the multi-properties of polymers irradiated by electron beam (EB). The irradiated polymers with high wettability, mist resistance, sterilization and high hardness have been successfully developed. EB irradiation decreases the water contact angle of polymers, because dangling bond formation generally attracts the poling of water molecules. Scattering of light reflection of fine sessile drops of water usually causes the misting. The extreamely thin film of water is formed by wettability enhancement induced by EB irradiation. Thus, the electron beam irradiation prevents the misting. On the other hand, the hardening has been generated by EB irradiation
