Electron beam irradiation of low density polyethylene/ethylene vinyl acetate filled with metal hydroxides for wire and cable applications
The mechanical test showed that upon irradiation, the tensile strength (TS) values of the EVA/LDPE blends increased with the addition of EVA. A gradual increase in gel content (GC) and tensile strength (TS) with a concomitant decline in elongation at break (EB) and hot set (HS) were observed upon el...
