The influence of EB-irradiated treatment on enhancing barrier property and crystallization behavior of rubber-toughened nanocomposites

Electron beam (EB) irradiation technique was introduced to modify the crystallization and oxygen (O2) barrier properties of high density-polyethylene (HDPE)/ethylene propylene diene monomer (EPDM) matrix and HDPE/EPDM filled with organophilic montmorillonite (OMMT). The absorbed dose for EB-irradiat...
