Electron beam initiated grafting of trimethylol propane trimethacrylate onto polyethylene—structure and properties

Electron beam initiated grafting of trimethylol propane trimethylacrylate (TMPTA) onto polyethylene was carried out over a range of irradiation doses (5–20 Mrad) and concentrations of TMPTA (2–6 parts by weight). The structure of the modified polyethylene was determined using IR spectroscopy, differ...

More Information
Summary:Electron beam initiated grafting of trimethylol propane trimethylacrylate (TMPTA) onto polyethylene was carried out over a range of irradiation doses (5–20 Mrad) and concentrations of TMPTA (2–6 parts by weight). The structure of the modified polyethylene was determined using IR spectroscopy, differential thermal analysis and swelling resistance. A correlation between the structure and the tensile and dielectric properties was attempted.
