Effects of Homogeneous Irradiation of Low Energy Electron Beam on Mist Resistance of Medical Glass

Abstract

Effects of electron beam irradiation on mist resistance and wetting were studied for soda lime glasses. The electron beam irradiation decreased the time to clear vision on the misted soda lime glasses. The treatment was conformed to show the mist resistance of the glass. To discuss the effect of electron beam on mist resistance, it was evaluated by using contact angle of sessile drop of water. Based on electron spin resonance (ESR) results, the effects of electron beam on the mist resistance were discussed. Electron beam irradiation broke the weakly bonded pairs and formed the dangling bonds in soda lime glasses.
