Influence of temperature and moisture on the mechanical properties of irradiated thermoplastics materials

Abstract

This study deals with the effect of ionizing beta radiation on notch impact strength of polyamides filled with glass fiber under the influence of temperature and moisture. These properties were examined in dependence on the dosage of this ionizing beta radiation (non-irradiated samples and those irradiated by dosage 66, and 132 kGy were compared).
