Radiation effects induced by MeV electron beams irradiating dense polyethylene (UHMWPE (original) (raw)

Radiation Effects and Defects in Solids, 2004

Abstract

Ultra-high-molecular-weight-polyethylene (UHMWPE) is irradiated with 5 MeV electrons in vacuum at different doses. The radiation effects induced by the electron irradiation are investigated by using different physical analyses such as mechanical tensile stress measurement, hardness measurements, specific heat measurements, infrared molecular absorption, surface wetting, polymer darkness and morphological scanning electron microscopy. The results indicate that the effects induced by high
